Dataset description

This dataset is composed of photos of various resolution of 35'623 pages of printed books dating from the 15th to the 18th century. Each page has been attributed by experts from one to five labels corresponding to the font groups used in the text, with two extra-classes for non-textual content and fonts not present in the following list: Antiqua, Bastarda, Fraktur, Gotico Antiqua, Greek, Hebrew, Italic, Rotunda, Schwabacher, and Textura.

This dataset offers an image classification dataset that has potential implications for other downstream tasks such as OCR recognition.

Whilst this dataset should be fairly easy to add to the datasets hub, it is quite large, so you should be aware of this.
