I am looking for any information on this typeface. Is this an available font or is it custom?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

This looks like a Didot that has been decorated. It is possible that it was a real 19th century metal type. I am not an official type ID guy. Maybe one will show up soon.

Is anyone? :^D

I haven’t seen those before, but vintage type is not my speciality.

This looks like something you’d find in a Dover stock art collection. :-) Mikey

Well if not - then very very nearly.
