The house is full of art because yesterday I took 8 paintings out of the Art gallery of Sudbury’s art rental program. They had been in there for over a year and I wanted to refresh the work. (with two pieces) I had a conversation with Krysta Talenko, the over worked young curator, then went shopping for blouses

One of the things that often gets sacrificed to the beautiful regularity of type is the quirky individuality of handwriting, with its swashes, ligatures, and shorthand. Early medieval books copied in Latin were full of abbreviations, rubrics, and illuminated capitals that printers like Caxton tried to emulate, while making their books and broadsides more legible.
