@poorfrankraw.co.ukAppearing in the shop soon: Supplico stet cedula. Deep hand carved #blackletter #lettering, filled with black mineral loaded resin, sanded back to the surface. 28 x 16 x 4 cms. The Latin text is from a Caxton printed advertisement, meaning "Do not take this down".

@arealmattgreene.bsky.socialReposted by @poorfrankraw.co.ukIn an increasingly post-literate age, the real job of publishers, big five et al, is building and sustaining a literary culture.

@poorfrankraw.co.ukSanding more or less complete, just got a couple of places to top up the filling. Should be complete and photographed tomorrow.
@poorfrankraw.co.ukI dropped the jar ☹️
