The building now occupied by Adobe in San Francisco was built in 1905 for Pacific Hardware & Steel Co. who later became Baker and Hamilton (hence the large supported sign on the roof). One bit of early 20th-century evidence is a row of large vaults with these lovely hand-painted doors. In the Victorian era, this ornamental glyphic style with angled crossbars and curly ends was common in both lettering and type (see Epitaph, Boston Type Foundry, 1880). Nice blended split shade with highlight here.
Hermann used this style of label on other safes and vault doors during this period. It appears the company is still in business, but Craig Given’s research indicates otherwise.

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.
Lettering I did, cutted out of steel with water! I'ts now for a week on my balcony to let it rust....
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.
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!!
A folded sheet tipped in the inside front cover of Schriften-Probe, Spamersche Buchdruckerei, Band 1, c.1930. I forgot to look for the artist credit, sorry! But I'll check later.

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. Photo taken 1/19/2023.

Really excited about getting to do some work for Uppercase Magazine. This illustration will serve as an opener for an article about designers and their messy work spaces. I hid a few personal tidbits like my wife's name and a hamburger... amongst other things.
Also, the lovely Margaret Kimball featured this illustration on her blog, WeHeartIllustration.com. CHECK IT OUT
