Default Identifying really old fonts

Hi

I am really struggling with a search for some really old decorative fonts. Here is an example of what I am after:



Obviously I know these are hand-drawn, and thus probably have a lot of 'made up' elements to them. But does anyone know where I can find fonts of this style? I have searched everywhere!

Scouring typeface directories and online font emporiums doesn't find anything close to what I would like, as even the most decorative digital fonts are a lot simpler than what I am after.

What I really need is stuff from Victorian times or even before. Maybe old wood carvings or type from old copies of the Bible. I don't really know, but I'm guessing this could be where I could find such letterforms.

Please can somebody help me!

Thanks in advance
