the public domain archives are truly fascinating.

redeeming itself for the never ending disgrace of the now ubiquitous "keep calm and carry on"

they've released full scans of shin-bijutsukai

pages and pages of a 1902 japanese design magazine.

it's paper i can only dream about.

luckily, you can view the whole collection here.

i have, of course, been fawning over this modern day alternative at uguisu.

...

also dug out of the archives? this little gem...

context is everything, isn't it?

yours affectionately,
