Your font truly catches the late Victorian style of the original font as shown on page 274 of ATF 1897.
The design was cut by the prolific fontmaker Herman Ihlenburg, who patented it in March of 1888.

This is a great revival! Congratulations on this. If I had to give any feedback I'd suggest raising the B's or R's Crossbar. Yesteday I found this in an atiquarium https://www.are.na/block/46365749 , you can see the contrast between A and B crossbars there, which gives the typeface more character. But thank you so much for creating this!
