This cover and the Z for Zebra, among some layout elements like the plaques and typography selection were done by me.

Illustrations compiled from Neon Signs and Cold-Cathode Lighting, by Samuel C. Miller, Tubelite Co., 2nd Edition, 1963 (1st Edition, 1935). Collection of Letterform Archive.
I assume this to be the most comprehensive technical manual on neon ever published. Subsequent reprints are easy to track down and it makes a great companion to Neon: A Light History, by Dydia DeLyser and Paul Greenstein, which was just released last month.

My wife’s great grandfather’s “Lettering for pen and brush” manual, the cover of which is nearly obliterated with “practice” or possibly “accidents”. I’ll be sure to post a shot of the entire cover in the near future. It’s quite the work of art.
by Rudolph Wendelin. Scanned at the Forest History Service.
Lauren Hart did some amazing research on the National Forests signage, and found the designer to be Rudolph Wendelin, a graphic artist that popularized Smokey the Bear. At Lauren’s suggestion, I emailed the Forest History Society, and they returned with a scan of the original material. Amazing. Thank you so much Lauren!!
Placed in the 29th Annual of Advertising and Editorial Art, 1950. Quite different from the Modernist stuff for which he was later known. Still bold, though.
If you live in Portland I think this guide is out now! I did some lettering for the cover and interiors.
ps. very exciting to be hired to do lettering!

Built as SSW 9660 in September 1989. Originally patched to UP 1965 and then later renumbered to UP 1076. Currently one of six final patched Cotton Belt locomotives on Union Pacific’s roster as of January 2023. When UP 1413, the last patched SP Roman lettered locomotive on the roster, was graffiti tagged almost beyond recognition it left those six former Cotton Belt GP60s as the final examples of Southern Pacific style Roman lettering on UP’s roster.
