Typo
by davidwozhere
Something completely different ! Using photos to examine paper and print.
It's a sample of print from a 1760 book showing several typographical features of the time - the German style 'f' (s) when it begins or is inside a word - normal 's' at the ends and ligatures for 'st' and 'ct'. The paper itself is interesting too.
The text is a commentary on Cain and Abel.

Nice but I think it looks a little under exposed.
It made me remember the cover of a serious book on poety I saw many years ago, it was a collage of poetry snippets including Shakespear's "Where the bee sucks, there suck I".......written with German 'f's.

Like Donna above I think you could be heading in a memorable direction with this project- t

I don't think I'd like to try that with a bee!Nice but I think it looks a little under exposed.

I deliberately took the highlights out to emphasise the print and the paper quality
Hi Donna - I was getting worried about you !
