The Doves Type was a typeface created by T.J. Cobden-Sanderson and Emery Walker of The Doves Press, founded in 1900. When the partnership was eventually dissolved in 1909 after a bitter dispute, ownership of the Dove Type was appointed to Cobden-Sanderson, whereupon his death the ownership would pass to Walker.

Rather than let this happen, Cobden-Smith began to dispose of the type matrices into the River Thames off Hammersmith Bridge. Cobden-Sanderson wrote in his personal journals that he "bequeathed to the river" the type itself. Beginning in 1916, under the cloak of midnight, Cobden-Sanderson began the slow task of disposing of Doves into the river. He said that he completed the task in January 1917 after 170 trips in total to the bridge.

Over 150 pieces of the typeface were recovered from the riverbed by Robert Green in 2014, with the help of the Port of London Authority and the acquisition of a mudlarking license.

Rune 101: Learn to make your eggs undestructable and prank your cryptid friends! Now on Webtoon!

It’s been ages since I posted here too, sorry! But anyway, I upped this comic too, probably you’ll have some reading to catch up if you only follow me here, buuuut... If you’re up for Edwardian shenanigans, here you go!

Till Queendom Come is a project about an Indian Rakshasi who's trying to find her lost heart after the East India Company stole it, a Jotunn who didn't feel like going back to Norway after the Vikings invasions, and the youngest granddaughter of the last druid of St. Ives who's now trying to keep on the family tradition on her own in spite of being the wrong gender to do so. Started as a project set in Edwardian England, born in a urge of sudden irritation about seeing Victoria being romanticised everywhere by a  cynical comic artist who majored in English. You can read it here on the hashtag #oscarpoppins (which was its unofficial title until now and in my mind will always be), or on Webtoon.

not to be really autistic about the victorian and edwardian eras but every time edwin is referred to as victorian a small part of me dies

#was he technically born in the victorian era if we assume he was also 16 when he died and was therefore born in 1900? yes #BUT the victorian era ended in january 1901 #the boy was alive for a maximum of 12 months of the victorian era #he doesn’t remember a single thing of that time #he grew up in the edwardian era (which was 1901 to 1910) #he’s edwardian >:( #plus his death flashback literally opens with ‘edwardian london’ come on #dead boy detectives #edwin paine #the sandman

... Show of what??

(Researching the Crystal Palace is honestly nauseating, I found there were commemoration programs sold for the centenary of the 1911 Festival of Empire -clearly an event we ALL should be celebrating, uh? *ironic* let me have some fun)
