On the train from Florence to Venice we were pulling into a town with a very familiar name. I was on staff at Sunset magazine with a guy named Nino Padova, a travel writer/editor who’s work I greatly admired. From my seat I ignored the window smudge and shot the station’s sign with the intent to send it to him. Photos that contain only a few people are the most graphic and group of women had just walked out of frame to the left as the old gentleman at the right was taking the first drag off his cigarette.

The building of the University Library Leuven is a Neo-Renaissance design from the American architects Whitney Warren and Charles D. Wetmore. It was built overlooking the Mgr. Ladeuzeplein between 1921 and 1928.
The names of the American Colleges and Universities, whose donations helped rebuilding the old library that had been destroyed in 1914, are carved in different styles of lettering in the sand stone bricks of the building.
When I went to Europe for the first time, I flew into Luxembourg. I stayed in a cheap hotel in the middle of Luxembourg City. My room had wood paneling, a single bed with a thick duvet on it, enormous windows, a soaking tub (no shower) that you had to get into by climbing a small set of steps, and no TV. This hanger was hanging in the wardrobe. I took it with me and have had it ever since.
I’m not sure if this process would be considered hot-stamping or wood branding.
from Wm. Hugh Gordon, "modernized Methods in the Art & Practice of Lettering for Commercial Purposes", 1918.
