Does anyone know if I can get a version of font as seen on the below image, and if so, from where? I know it's fairly basic, but there's something about it... Thanks to anyone who can help <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

"Cochin Archaic" from this site looks really close to what Lep wanted. You can download a shareware version at the bottom of the page.

See? image

This site:

is really fun. You feed it a picture containing the font, and it tries to guess it. You might need to crop that image somewhat.

Just going by the "SHAKESPEARES" line, it suggests ITC Founders Caslon Thirty.

Hadrianus from the same site looks pretty good (managed to get a demo of it from here) but those are all great, thanks Orph

www.dafont.com is also a nice one. Perhaps hard to find that one font though.
