@letterformarchive: Take a closer took at Lettres Décoratives: A Century of French Sign Painters’ Alphabets with Stephen Coles, Associate Curator & Editorial Director at Letterform Archive. Decorative painting had long traditions in architectural and interior ornament, but it wasn’t until the nineteenth century that alphabets became central decorative elements, driven by the growing need for eye-catching signage. With the help of state-of-the-art digital reproduction and hands-on preservation services, our team at Letterform Archive is able to bring these historical works into your home. #LettresDécoratives #FrenchSignPainting #MorgameCrame #LetterformArchive #DigitalReproduction y#lettering #typography #graphicdesign #script #handlettering #graphicarts #calligraphicarts#publicationdesign
