Freeman Gage Delamotte was an English Author, artist, photographer and wood engraver. He published The Book of Ornamental Alphabets, Ancient and Mediaeval (1879, Crosby Lockwood and Co., London), which has plenty of 8th to 11th century alphabets and initials. Most of his lettering is typical of the Victorian tradition of adding ornaments to simple silhouettes.
