Dust wrapper drawing by Peter Rudlan; about whom: "RUDLAND HAND is a calligraphic font, inspired by the work of the British artist and designer Peter Rudland. As explained in his book From Scribble to Script (John De Graff, 1956) Rudland was an advocate of this style of script–italic hand–as a way to improve one’s handwriting. So although it may seem like ornamental calligraphy, Rudland intended that ordinary people would develop this beautiful, flowing, pen lettering. You could use the font as a resource for practicing your own script or, if your handwriting is as hopeless as mine, a convenient substitute."

The critic Eric recently noted: "Although he's best known today as the author of the Winnie-the-Pooh books, the bulk of A(lan) A(lexander) Milne's work was actually for adults. Apart from the two Pooh books and two books of children's poetry, he wrote over twenty five plays, as well as several novels and essays. This collection, which was originally published in 1921, collects a few of the essays. While most of the topics are necessarily tied to the mundane real world (there are a few bits on the topic of gardening, for instance), they're carried off with a light touch that a even a modern reader should find pleasant enough."

Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. ... Igor Mitoraj, who has died aged 70, was a monumental sculptor who kept his brand of classicism in fashion by combining technical ability with a certain postmodern malaise.

Rupture and fragmentation became metaphors for the passing of antiquity, but could also stand for the nature of time itself, and indeed the whole human condition. A viewer of these broken forms might recall Shelley’s lines: “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my… Read More
