My fave (and only) Dwig sig is on the last page of book five of Gargantua and Pantagruel, Limited Editions Club, 1936. (I know there are hundreds of these, but it’s special to me) #dwigsig #dwiggins #dwiggophile

#today I got lost in my thumb-drives. I didn't find what I was looking for, but I did come across "Crankisms." (1901). My thrift store find is falling apart so it is good it is available on-line, complete with Dwiggins' wonderful illustrations https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/20024/pg20024-images.html #wednesdaywisdom #Dwigs #Dwiggins #Crankisms #vintage
Crankisms

W. A. Dwiggins: A Life in Design (2017) is our first book and we’re very proud of it, but it’s out of print! Did you (or a loved one) miss it the first time around? Help us reprint it – and snag a poster, pocket square, or scarf while you’re at it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/letterformarchive/reprinting-w-a-dwiggins-a-life-in-design-by-bruce-kennett?ref=8j2mnz

Poster: Facsimile of Dwiggins’ 1929 poster for the Metropolitan Museum.

Pocket square (black) and scarf (red): Stencil decoration created by Dwiggins for an edition of Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales published in 1930.

I must be nearly done now, because I'm doing this frivolity.
