Summary: 
The poster is a 1992 reproduction of the 1592 Konrad Berner type specimen. "[Berner] was the type founder who succeeded Jacques Sabon in 1580. He was the son-in-law of Christian Egenolff and his successor at the Egenolff print office. His catalog of type specimens is dated 1592. The "Berner specimen" of 1592 formed the basis of the free Google Web Font family EB Garamond (or: Egelnoff-Berner Garamond) developed by Georg Duffner. In 1626, his foundry passed into the hands of Johann Luther. At the time, he was the main type supplier for Germany, the Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands." -- Luc Devroye, Type Information Page, http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-42169.html Specimen includes Antiqua and Kursiv by Claude Garamond and Robert Granjon.
