This work of art uses old style letters from a printing press. Part of a series called Typography Photography by Holli Conger. Excellent one.
Just imagine - some time ago people had to put thousands of such letters one by one, creating a book to print then...
ReplyDeleteI used to know someone who worked as a typesetter on a newspaper. The hardest part of the job was learning to work right to left and put the letters in backwards.
