I was fortunate to find an almost complete set of Parsons decorators free for the taking. Manufactured by Barnhart Brothers & Spindler in Chicago, they are the perfect accent for the typeface Parsons, designed by intrepid printer and private printing author Will Ransom in 1917. I also have a run of Parsons from 6pt to 36pt. It was often used for the title cards in silent movies.
This is a new line we are developing... we call it "meadowettes". We are not sold on the upper left one's color... and we plan to add a 6th design in a plum color. Thoughts?
