Which letter are you today?
We’re kinda feeling like that ‘W’…
From a Collection of designs for letters and monograms, by J.M. Bergling.
Our followers know how much we love the Marriott C. Morris photograph collection. For the most part this collection spans years of Marriott’s adult life as an amateur photographer, documenting family life in the late 19th century. This video is a window into Marriott’s and his sister Bessie’s childhood life through their collection of monograms. Marriott was 10 years old when he started this album.
Marriott C. and Elizabeth (Bessie) Morris. Monogram album. [Philadelphia] : [1873, 1874.]
For this #TypographyTuesday, we share a simple monogram drawn on an album cover. #simplifysimplify
This album is filed with photographs, captions, and a little bit of whimsy related to Dinkelacker, and the construction business, Dinkelacker & Keating in Frankford, Philadelphia.
