Met yet another American foundry I didn't know existed. Hello, Hobart & Robbins! Thank you, Letterform Archive.
Not much is known about them. Circuitous Root has only these two entries:

AKA The New England Type Foundery. Merged with Boston Type foundry in 1885. This 1851 catalog is from the Tholenaar Collection at the Letterform Archive in San Francisco.

The prolific author crafted psychological mysteries of the old school, not far from Agatha Christie in the way that the dialogue moved along swiftly, and in the efficient use of simple language. In my opinion, Simenon uses description in a very filmic way that also is old fashioned.
"L'Affaire Saint Fiacre" was my first Maigret novel. The way this novel is crafted, with sharp and brief details, allows me the latitude that I need to think to weave a very specific design in which Maigret is not too far from Weegee's 1929 Coupe, but for this Parisian Police vehicle, I'm thinking of it more as a touring car which is more for comfort.
My only upgrade to the Maigret's series is to his wardrobe (which was a heavy overcoat), providing a bespoke gentleman's suit with sleeves that could easily be rolled up.
The idea of a traditional picnic hamper for a touring car is modified to be enjoyed inside the vehicle, albeit in a symbolic manner befitting the character of its single occupant.
Therefore, the cab interior functions as a toilette and also as a simple bar room.
The features:
1. A tray set to serve Madame Maigret's plum liqueur.
2. A fruit knife, for the enjoyment of seasonal fruit, such as oranges. This is kept inside Maigret's suit which is stowed in the back as shown. The coat will be thoroughly warmed when Maigret leaves the car.
3. French press coffee, some country bread with a napkin
4. An oil lamp
5. A tiny coal furnace.
6. A toiletry set of a water jug, hot water supply, towel and shaving set.
7. A winding rack of smoking pipes with small bowls, chicken feather cleaners and a large tobacco humidor
8. Green curtains and a cheery Neapolitan ochre wallpaper line the interior.
9. Driver, with a silver calling card tray in the front.
Maigret comes in from the bitter cold and removes his coat, unbuttons and rolls up his sleeves to enjoy the warm French country house comforts of a simple yet leisurely shave. Thereafter he will breakfast with coffee and bread, or receive a visitor for a drink and a pipeful of French tobacco.

Para quien quiera leerlo. Large View.
No suelo hacer fotos macros y con esta serie me queria destapar un poco.
Las fotos son de uno de los libros antiguos que tengo por casa, este en concreto es de 1744. Una lástima que no lo pueda leer porque desconozco el latín.
En fin, después de unos días duros intentaré tener una noche tranquila si los dos vecinos pequeños que tengo (hermanos ellos), terminan ya de matarse de una vez, porque....me están sacando de quicio.

A recent addition to the typographic library is a slight volume of engraved reproductions of alphabets and pages of calligraphy by Hermann Zapf. I once owned a copy of this book, but in a moment of weakness traded it for one of Victor Hammer's books. I'm glad to have another copy; it's such a beautiful book.

Paper lanterns at Yasaka Jinja. On each lantern, the name of the person or establishment who donated it is written. The one in blue is a nice little restaurant in Gion called "Hyotan" - no special religious significance or anything like that but maybe they're friendly with the shrine priests.

Found these undated brochures while cleaning up some old papers. Full of facts about the World Trade Center.
It's spooky to see phone numbers for places that no longer exist.
The three walls surrounding the sarcophagus are not inscribed with texts. Instead, the false door motif, or palace facade, surrounds the sarcophagus. Learn more at the Pyramid Texts Online.

Just a load of fallen leaves and pine needles on a white background? Technically, yes, but to my eye there is so much more to it than that. It's something very beautiful and best of all it's (mostly) natural. I say mostly, because the white background is man made - probably the back of a sign as it was lying down next to a wire mesh fence and had tags on the corners where I guess it was hung.
I love how the leaves are so randomly scattered, yet in a strange sort of way somehow there seems to be some order too. Nature just has a way doesn't it!
Looks a bit like retro wall paper! LOL :-)
