Some illustrations by the Art Nouveau artist George Auriol (1863-1938).

He was also a quite renowned type designer and his work as a graphic designer is very inspiring :)

And I also enjoy some headpieces he made about months and seasons, here are some of my favorites (i used the third one for a fanbinding project!):

Newest Hallmark Ornament

I only wish that it was Deathly Hallows, Prisoner of Azkaban, Order of the Phoenix, and Goblet of Fire books instead

Typography Tuesday

LUDLOW ORNAMENTS

Today we present some Ludlow ornaments and borders from Ludlow Typefaces: A Specimen Book of Matrix Fonts, circa 1940. The Ludlow Typograph Company was founded in 1906 by William I. Ludlow and William A. Reade to manufacture and distribute a typecasting and composing system to compete against Linotype. You can read much more about the Ludlow Typograph and its composing system in our previous post from this specimen book.

More stuff I saw at Savers. Thought about getting the cute kitty milk jug but ultimately did not. Didn’t get anything else pictured here either.

The work of Owen Jones never ceases to amaze 🤩 This is his 1861 Victoria Psalter, executed in stunning chromolithography for the Queen of England. It features a striking “relievo” binding, made of heavily molded leather – it feels very similar to papier-mâché. Jones took inspiration for his illustrations from a variety of medieval manuscript sources. It’s the height of the Gothic Revival in book form!

the thought of icemav celebrating christmas together makes me a bit crazy. what do they give each other???

usually nothing . That’s kind of a big deal. in the 80s/90s they’d (reluctantly) celebrate Christmas with carole and bradley (who took that shit kinda seriously) so they wouldn’t really do anything by themselves. Maybe go out for a nice clandestine dinner just cause. After Carole dies and Bradley’s papers get pulled from the academy, ice’s low key newfound interest in celebrating christmas is one of his many many ways to try and normalize relations between him & maverick and try to improve their relationship in the conspicuous absence of the rest of their family. but yes he does make an effort—as does mav—to take advantage of holiday time to be with him as often as possible so, though their schedules don’t always line up, after 2006 they spend about 3/4 xmases together

Ice has very few hobbies besides a.) lovingly working on his cars & plane and b.) reading, so he is exceptionally easy to shop for (as most hobbyless men are): nice tie pins, cufflinks, those unnecessarily expensive hardcover books about weird random topics you find in airport bookstores, fountain pens, nautical /aeronautical themed paperweights, nice leather watchbands etc. highbrow rich guy stuff

Maverick has sooooo many stupid little hobbies that each last between 4-6 months so he is ridiculously hard to shop for— “i thought you were into woodworking so i got you some tools :)!” “uh no that was in April. im trying to learn how to make wallets now” :( so mostly if ice ever gets him anything it’s usually just an expensive dinner date in the city or cash in a blank card or a blank signed check for airplane parts for the next year. Buy whatever you want idc <3

any and all gifts are given with extremely little fanfare PLEASE don’t make it a big deal… hidden around the house with a little “merry xmas!” note attached, or shoved into each others suitcases pre-leaving-for-navy-reasons, or unceremoniously dropped into one’s lap while he’s watching tv, “here you go,” “oh, this is nice, thanks!” Et cetera. love language of gifts/acts of service, but, like, very quietly.
