I know that page well: it’s from ITC’s U/lc, of which I have quite a few issues crumbling to dust in a document conservation box. Why on earth didn’t they use better paper? We’ll not see the likes of that splendid publication again.
Good news! Monotype has scanned all of U&lc. They’re not particularly well organized, but they’re on the web. Start here: http://blog.fonts.com/category/ulc/
