A Winter at Letterform Archive
Carlos Rodriguez reflects on his time as our winter intern.
This Just In: Posters of May ’68
We commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Paris uprising with a collection of posters by the Atelier Populaire (Popular Workshop).
From the Collection: Thomas Ingmire, Susan Skarsgard, Suzanne Moore
Among our holdings of contemporary calligraphy are three artists who break boundaries between visual art and the written word.
This Just In: The Nuremberg Chronicle
Now at Letterform Archive, a landmark of 15th-century bookmaking.
We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of our first complete incunable (book printed before 1501). The Nuremberg Chronicle is one of the most densely illustrated and technically advanced incunables, and helps us tell the story of letterforms in the early years of printing.
Thank you, Camille
For most of Letterform Archive’s existence, one woman has been behind our camera, capturing and sharing the collection for publications, research requests, and social media.
Camille Brown joined the Archive in May 2016 as an intern, and soon took a place on staff as Photographer. Her deft shooting and post-processing skills made large and demanding projects – like the Dwiggins book – possible. And her keen and curious eye set the standard for our social feeds, attracting tens of thousands followers on Facebook, Twitter, and especially Instagram. Now we bid Camille a tearful farewell as she leaves us for her next life chapter in New York.
