Odd Fenland characters




      A little bit of letterpress printing history that was discovered in a carrier bag. A mixture of fonts, fractions, ampersands and a very short double rule. Taken as a whole the type and sorts are nothing that you could print anything coherent from but they are interesting, I love the drop shadow capital 'T' and the ampersand. You simply can't beat an ampersand.
      Should I do a test printing before I find these odd characters and orphans a good home, now that would seem like a plan to me.

    I realise now that print, graphics and mucking about with images could have been something I might have made a go at. Never mind. Things you find in a carrier bag. Ever wayched Operation Good Guys? Perhaps not..

    I enjoyed it but I'd go a different direction in the discipline if I did all over again. Or maybe I'd do something completely different. What is 'Operation Good Guys?'

    BB, I will check today. It sounds like a typical Fenland party.
