Typography Tuesday: Love Story, finale
We will call this the end of the beginning. It took almost as long for us to tell this story via blog posts than the actual courtship did. Charles Aarons and Rose Sheuerman met May 29, 1904, became engaged July 4 the same year. Their wedding was held in Des Moines, Iowa on March 1, 1905.
The last two images are from Rose’s Bridal Book (UWM Mss 44, box 1, folder 16).
The end.

Typography Tuesday: A Love Story, part 5
The long-distance relationship seems to be a challenge for Rose and Charles. It also appears that Rose has another suitor.
Will Charles start responding to Rose’s letters?
Will Rose consider moving away from her family in Des Moines to be with Charles?
Will the golf lessons prove to be the start of a new relationship?
Keep watching to see the continuing story lovingly composed by Sylvia Aarons as a keepsake scrapbook in 1905.

Typography Tuesday: A Love Story, part 3
The 3rd installment in the scrapbook tale of love and marriage comes to a cliffhanger ending. The relationship has evolved, and Charles is now formulating a letter of intent to Rose’s father. With full ink wells, plenty of paper, and furrowed brow, the Milwaukee lawyer considers his words carefully.
Watch for part four next week!

In case you missed them... part 1 & part 2
If you wanted to end the suspense this scrapbook along with much more from the Wisconsin Jewish Archives, will be available in this week's Pop-Up Days at the Golda Meir Library. May 29-31, 2019 stop in the UWM Archives as we honor Jewish American Heritage Month with a look at the history of the Jewish community in Milwaukee.

Typography Tuesday: A Love Story, part 4
For those of you in need of some literary inspiration, try these fictional titles for “The best of the new books.” Sylvia, the creator of the scrapbook for Rose & Charles, wasn’t too subtle about what was going on at this stage in the courtship.
If anyone is inspired and creates something based on one of these titles we’d love to see it!
Keep watching to see what comes next.
