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.

Happy Secret Samol! My giftee was @smallpolar-bear who requested some blue channel crew post ep 29 so I landed on the group reading some Strand Forum Posts™ about the stellar combuster mission at the central hangout spot!

Notes: -This was intended to be the final page of a comic buut it was a little ambitious for me so I pivoted to one illustration
-This was my most extensive use of clip studios 3D system for blockout! It helped so much
-That sofa pit was quickly blocked out in blender and imported to get the angle right
-Using the 3D character models were fiddly but again super helpful and I may slide it into my usual workflow
-I was flying basically near refless (ie varying levels of sketches) for these characters, aha
