As I wrote about using letters in art last week, I thought this was a highly relevant link: Beyond the Letters, accompanying website to an exhibition by the Canadian national library and archives. It shows a selection of scans from a wide range of alphabet books going back to 1859, and shows how the subject has provided a rich source of inspiration for many illustrators. The ‘related sites’ page is full of interesting links, for example, this one to Bembos’ Zoo, which sees letters rearrange themselves into animals. If that makes no sense, go and have a look and you’ll see what I mean.
