well worn type

i’m not sure i quite understand the ‘concept’ behind what this is trying to say… but it looks quite amusing anyhow

read between the lines

interesting stuff this, it would make a great form idea for a book or magazine too…

‘…in the 19th century, when paper was scarce, someone writing a letter was often short on paper or possibly conserving what they had. so after filling the page, they would turn it ninety degrees and continue writing. here are two examples of exactly that. amazing, right? i have about six examples of this. whenever i run across these i buy them. one example i misplaced/filed somewhere is an x-y-z letter. after writing both horizontally and vertically, the author turned the page 45 degrees and continued from there. truly remarkable.’
