I have had an image of a totally cool invitation from 1855 for some time. I am looking for an opportunity to use it as inspiration in a real piece. I thought I would post it here as such a gem is worth sharing. This was likely printed on an old letterpress printer. It surely was a big deal to have such a piece printed for a festival in 1855 (pre-civil war). I love the typography, the way the type is written, the language, all of the flourishes, it is all just very very neat. Enjoy a piece of history! Be inspired.
