Architectural Alphabet

Architectural Alphabet, Antonio Basoli
via lines and colors

I absolutely love this creativity with the alphabet, as longtime readers may recall. The whole alphabet used to be available on a Russian site but doesn't show them anymore.

Landscape Alphabet

Early 20th century, L.E.M. Jones.

I love alphabets and the creative ways that artists find to display letters. When I first saw these I fell in love. It was really hard to choose which to include here to try to lure you into looking at all of them.

I love the C for the creative use of the ocean. I love the Y for the cows. I love the cottage and cottager hidden mid-Z, as well as the little pond at the bottom of the hill.

These can be found at the British Museum. Just click on a letter to see it up close. Their description is brief: "Series of 26 landscape scenes shaped as letters of the alphabet; rebound in a 20th-century binding."

Ok, actually it is type treatments ... but let's not get too technical. Just enjoy.
