1850s fonts for $1000 Alex:

What are:

Caslon (1816)
Akidenz Grotesk (1834)
Goudy, called Camelot (1895)
Chaucer (1893)

Those are a few examples of typefaces. You would have to do a check on the various font sites to see if those are available. I suspect that those would not be free, at this point, or they would be available as part of the standard installations of most software packages.

That font looks more Art Deco than 1850's...
