Typography Tuesday

WHITTINGHAM INITIALS

The Whittinghams, Charles the Elder (1767-1840), who founded the Chiswick Press, and his nephew and successor Charles the Younger (1795–1876), were among the finest English printer/publishers of the 19th century, noted especially for the quality of typographic design and evenness of printing. Their firm was also the chief printer for bookseller/publisher William Pickering, whose own devotion to quality was exemplified in his use of Aldus Manutius's anchor & dolphin printer's mark, combined with the motto Aldi Discipulus Anglus (Aldus's English Disciple).

Many of the distinctive, wood-engraved initials the Whittinghams used were designed by Charles II himself along with his artist daughters Charlotte and Elizabeth, almost all of which were engraved by English book illustrator and wood engraver Mary Byfield (1795-1871). The Whittingham initials shown here are from the 1896 Grolier Club publication, The Charles Whittinghams Printers by Arthur Warren (1860-1924), which itself is printed by one of the finest 19th-century American printers, Theodore Low De Vinne (1828-1914), who printed the book on handmade paper in an edition of 185 copies. Our copy is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff, a Grolier Club member.

Doctor Who: The Keys of Marinus (1.5, BBC, 1964)

"I want to speak of your father. You know, he was a very wise and brilliant man and I know how you felt when you learned of his death."

"And his life's work destroyed."

"Oh, no, no, no, no, I wouldn't say that. His work will go on, only not quite in the same way. But I don't believe that man was made to be controlled by machines. Machines can make laws, but they cannot preserve justice; only human beings can do that."

the way I interpreted hw2 is — following the thought initially put forward by ruin that princess quest is the canon ending of sb, hw2 takes place concurrently with ruin ( if slightly before by like, the ending of hw2 and the beginning of ruin overlap ) where gregory is the protagonist and the gameplay is him and vanessa trying to put an end to glitchtrap for good who in turn sets the mimic free as one final fuck you ( and likely the hope that the mimic would .... y'know, mimic afton and thus continue to carry on his eternal existence of fear and misery )

#★ * OOC / brainrot for a sushi restaurant. )#also I think VR career picker's existence implies that #fazbear as a whole has been creating copies of the minds of people who apply for jobs #and sticking those in the staff bots so they don't have to actually hire people #thus leaning into this 'dangers of AI' theme the pizzaplex books seem to have going on #but yeah ! that's my thought on hw2 #this isn't even beginning to get into the wizard which is its own insane theory that I don't know how to begin to explain 💀#glitchtrap who in itself is a copy of william releasing the mimic hoping itll copy william only for the mimic to #scamper out of the pizzaplex and start ripping limbs off #that thing is NOT subtle in the books it has none of the pizzazz that william has LMAO #anyways posting this and running !#I know saying gregory is the player character sounds like my gregory bias peeking through but I genuinely didn't think that #until the princess quest ending because the ONLY character outside vanessa we've seen have an association with pq Is Gregory #he is the only that plays it. consistently.#that + whenever you get a high score in a game you get a ggy achievement .....#and it makes sense how his walkie would be in range of cassies at the end of ruin #there's a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head that point to it being gregory but

BENETTI MOTOPANFILO 37M

The Motopanfilo 37M is a yacht suspended in time, an example of classicism projected into the future. This elegant and modern composite displacement boat satisfies the tastes and needs of contemporary owners but has its roots in the design of the Benetti motor yachts of the 60s, of which it incorporates the gentle and distant fashions, yielding much larger spaces in bright and constant visual…

Play of the Month: Maigret at Bay (BBC, 1969)

"You've been in the police service a long time, Monsieur Maigret."

"Since I was 22, Monsieur le Prefet."

"So long? And your duties have taken you widely."

"Oh, the Metro, stations, the big stores, vice, gambling."

"And now you're a division commissaire."

"Yes."

"Within five years of retirement."

"And three days."

"In 28 years you must have seen many changes in methods, procedures?"

"The criminals haven't changed."

"And you, like them, prefer to keep to the old ways as well?"

"They work."

#play of the month #maigret at bay #bbc maigret #maigret #georges simenon #donald bull #william slater #rupert davies #helen shingler #neville jason #gillian hills #yootha joyce #mary webster #clive cazes #tony harwood #geoffrey morris #martin miller #donald pickering #a curious epilogue to the BBC Maigret. Maigret at Bay had actually been announced as the inaugural play when the anthology was first #announced in 1964‚ but contractual issues with Simenon and Davies stage commitments had conspired to delay the production. it would take #another 5 years before everything came together and filming could be completed. it was an unusual choice for a strand which largely adapted #classic novels and plays by the likes of Arthur Miller‚ H. G. Wells‚ Somerset Maugham and Shakespeare. it perhaps speaks to the high regard #in which the series had been held (it had been heavily repeated in the intervening years). whatever the motivation‚ the result is that #rarest of things; a fitting coda to a beloved series. an obvious labour of love‚ the production team reunited leads Davies‚ Shingler and #Jason (Ewen Solon was sadly unavailable) with key crew members (excepting chief writer Giles Cooper‚ who had tragically died in 1966)#the sets for Maigret's office and home were recreated faithfully‚ extensive location work carried out in Paris and there is even a truly #delightful acknowledgement of the original series opening titles‚ as Maigret strikes a match on a wall to light his pipe at the beginning.#it can honestly be rare to find this kind of care and clear respect in a belated reunion to a previous series‚ but this is really probably #the very best ending the show could have hoped for: an older Maigret‚ approaching retirement‚ out of step with new superiors but as capable #and as brilliant as ever. a very worthy final outing. Davies never ruled out a return but it wasn't to be; so farewell‚ Insp Maigret

i thionlk that william would be a skin picker and the only reason he would have kicked the habit would be because he got springlocked and if he picked at his "skin" (aka the suit) he would have just torn the shit ta shreds and suit cant grow back like skin so.

unfortunately hes a bunny here so that cant really happen. he picks at the area around his scars a lot i think

No Room to Breathe~ Ellis Twilight

Chapter 1

This a fan translation so it is definitely not 100% accurate. I do not own anything related to Ikemen Villains. Support Cybird by buying their amazing stories!

No Warnings for this part, but it does become NSFW in later parts, so MDNI

Part 1 | Part 2 | Premium End | Epilogue

Victor: “Well then, here’s the question.”

Victor: “The third glass from the top and furthest left in the common room. What happens if you touch it?”

Kate / Ellis: “A hidden armory appears.”

Victor: “Yes, very good answer.”

(Waaaaah…!)

The moment he touched the glass, a shelf appeared and the common room transformed into an armory.

On principle, only the members of Crown and I were allowed to use the weapons Victor possessed.

Victor: “It’s so earnest and sweet of you to ask to borrow a weapon for your next mission, it almost brings tears to my eyes.”

Ellis: “Can I take whatever I want?”

Victor: “Of course you can! What do you want? Oh, this is a new tranquilizer gun. Once it puts you to sleep, you won’t wake up for 24 hours!”

Victor: “It can be used on either lions or people. And this one—”

Ellis: “These handcuffs… I’ve never seen ones like this before.”

Kate: “Really? How do they work?”

Ellis: “Kate, can I see your hand… I wonder if this is it.”

Kate: “Oh, I see. That’s how you use them.

Victor: “So, this one is…what!? Wait, what!?”

Victor: “What’s that in your hands, no way…”

Ellis: “…?”

Victor yelled as he looked at the handcuffs connecting one of my hands and one of Ellis’s hands.

Victor: “These are handcuffs that never come off after you put them on-----Oh!”

--dining room

(Th-This is one hell of a situation.)

Liam heard the commotion and pulled us into the dining room saying “Al is a master lock-picker”

Alfons: “You’re fools to fall for handcuffs that can never come off again.”

Kate: “Hey, regardless of what we’re stupid enough to do, just take it off for now. Please.”

As the rest of Crown looked on, Alfons messed around with the handcuffs, looking up after 5 seconds.

Alfons: “This is impossible.”

Kate: “Huh? Please, try a little harder.”

Alfons: “I’m a genius at giving up. Isn’t it foolish to waste effort on unnecessary things.”

Alfons: “I surrender, I surrender.”

(Th-that’s…)

(Huh? It seems like Victor and I are the only ones who have been panicking for a while now.)

Ellis: “…Is it really so bad if it stays this way?”

Kate: “Huh?”

Ellis: “With anyone else, it would be a bit of a problem, but…”

Ellis: “If it’s with you, I don’t mind staying connected.”

I blinked at the unexpectedly sweet words being thrown at me.

Ellis: “You feel the same with me… right?”

Kate: “It’s…. The, uh, I don’t like…. I don’t.”

Ellis: “I see. Fufu, good.”

Victor: *sobbing* “……Oh……OH…..Oh….”

Victor: “This is a grave situation. I can’t believe that my mismanagement has deprived two people of their freedom!”

Liam: “…Victor, that’s a bit of an exaggeration.”

Victor: “So, I’ve decided to call a locksmith I know.”

Victor: “He lives far away, so I’ll be home late. William,”

William: “—ah, I understand. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Victor: “My sweet Kate, Ellis. Wait for me, okay?”

(…Gone like the wind.)

William, who had been watching the situation while drinking his tea, smiled softly.

William: “Kate, Ellis. Crown duties will be relegated until it is removed.”

William: “Think of it as a vacation and spend it as you like.”

Liam: “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it for you instead.”

Kate: “Thank you. Ah, but Ellis, you have work for Jude’s company, right?”

Kate: “You’ll need to tell Jude that you’re taking the day off.”

(It’s dangerous to have business negotiations or collect money while connected.)

Ellis: “Yeah. But, do you think he’ll readily say I can take a break?”

Kate: “Fufu, no way. Not that devil.”

--castle grounds

We went to see Jude who was doing some research in the library…

--library

Jude: “Tch, that doesn’t matter, just do the work.”

(The devil!)

Ellis: “I knew Jude would say that.”

Ellis: “The way you’re talking…Is there something you want us to do?”

Jude: “Do you remember the man who asked to borrow money for investing from me three months ago?”

Ellis: “Ah…that extremely friendly grey-haired man?”

Jude: “Yeah. He stopped his repayments without asking.”

Kate: “Is there some reason why don’t just ignore it?”

Jude: “Are you seriously asking that?”

(Uh….)

Jude: “The circumstances and shit were premeditated. He doesn’t pay people back, just shows up at balls around here and there and has a grand old time.”

Jude: “How dare he break his word, eh?”

After spitting it out, Jude threw something in front of me and Ellis.

Kate: “An invitation to a ball? Could it be…”

Jude: “He’ll be there tonight. Go undercover and collect the money he stole.”

Ellis: “That means Kate is a young lady and I am her servant.”

Kate: “No, that would be suspicious. We’re still connected aren’t we?”

Jude: “They’ll just think overprotective parents put a collar on their daughter.”

Jude: “Or they’ll think yer someone with a taste for that sort of thing.”

(Ngh, That’s the problem! Ah, that’s right!)

Kate: “Well, I also don’t have a high-class dress that a young lady would wear.”

If I told Victor, he’d probably have one ready in a second, but I’ll keep that a secret for now.

Jude: “Haah… yer a very ill-prepared princess.”

Jude, looking really bothered, took something out and ran his pen over it.

Jude: “Hm, If ya got this it’ll be fine.”

Kate: “Uh, a check…and for this much!?”

Kate: “I can’t accept this!”

Jude: “No one said anything about doing it for free. It’s an advance on today’s work.”

Jude: “If it doesn’t work out, you’ll have to pay it back with double the interest. Do yer best.”

Kate: “Eh, h-hey!”

--Crown Castle Hall

(…ugh, I couldn’t refuse.)

Ellis: “Kate, are you okay?”

Kate: “I’m alright. Now that I’ve received the money, I want to do my job properly.”

Kate: “Let’s do our best, Ellis.”

Ellis: “…Fufu.”

Kate: “…?”

Ellis: “I, that part of you… I like it.”

Ellis: “…Maybe it’s a good thing it turned out like this.”

Kate: “…good?”

Ellis: “Yeah. This way, I can be with you all the time.”

When I see the sweet smile on his face, I feel my heart flutter.

(Before, I couldn’t say it clearly)

Kate: “Me too, I’m glad you were the one who was connected to me.”

Ellis: “I see, I’m happy… So, shall we go buy a dress?”

Kate: “Yes, Ellis!”

--Mansion entrance

After I bought a formal evening dress at Harrods,

We stepped into the mansion where the ball was being held.

(Wow, a big mansion… and lots of people.)

While I was stunned by the glittering lights, Ellis held my hand.

Ellis: “Let’s hold hands. It would be difficult if we got separated.”

Kate: “Fufu, we can’t exactly be separated when I’m handcuffed to you.”

Ellis: “I didn’t say it right. So…”

Ellis: “Can I hold your hand, because I want to hold your hand?”

Kate: “……yes.”

(I wonder if he noticed my anxiety… Ellis is as kind as ever.)

When I think about that, I suddenly felt a sense of discomfort.

(Huh? Are we being watched?)
