It would be nice to see the entire letter set as reconstructed.

Somewhere I have an original small-press magazine circa 1910 from the Roycrofters arts & crafts settlement in western New York. Beautiful thing. If I find it, I’ll post a page or two.

This is the little magazine I posted about earlier. It is really small, only 6 by 4-1/2 inches. From 1914.

That is very cool, RP!

I've been called a philistine more than once. A hundred years ago, I could have made it official!
