For example, we are presently preparing the Saint-Saens A minor cello concerto, and the printed parts use a backwards 8th rest to indicate a quarter rest.
This was the standard form of the quarter rest from its inception up to the mid-19th century. The modern form was gradually adopted between then and the beginning of the 20th c. The new form was introduced to aid legibility.
