St Bride Library in the City of London, where Mosley was librarian
Mosley advised on historically appropriate lettering for Tate Britain art gallery, HMS Victory and Bellerby & Co.
Mosley was particularly interested in preserving knowledge of the traditional styles of type and lettering of Britain around the nineteenth century; pictured: a display typeface in the modern serif style by the foundry of Vincent Figgins, the subject of one of Mosley's first articles.
