Serif on Joseph Hel’s 1899 label (Lille)

This seems lettering to me. But it was definitely based on a very popular typeface of that time. Does anyone know similar typefaces that were released during that time?

It’s not a match by any means, but check out the Elzevirs of Gursch, Genzsch & Heyse, and Linotype. Parnaso is a digital interpretation of this style.

Thanks a lot! Parnaso is quite similar : ) Do you have any ideas on the possible choices for the script and gothic letters on the labels I posted?
