Hey everybody! I'm back with some more fanart of @extracreditsblog and their designs for historical figures! This time I drew Walpole, very self explanatory! He's leaning on a little economic bubble of his own, it seems. Who's fault was it? Always his. Enjoy! :D

Have you ever met someone so rich that they’ve absolutely no concept of the value of money? Yeah, that’s Wapol

This one's for their "Castle of Otranto" bittersweet soft centres. *

PS - There isn't - AFAIK - a "Gothic Fiction Chocolate Company", but there should be.

PPS - * It was Walpole.

Fine Press Friday

This 1944 edition of the biblical Song of Songs, with illustrations and border designs by American illustrator, designer, and wood worker Aldren Watson (1917-2013), was printed for the Peter Pauper Press in Frederic Goudy's Deepdene italic types on Archer paper by the Walpole Printing Office in Mount Vernon, New York.

Both the Peter Pauper Press and the Walpole Printing Office were founded by Peter Beilenson (1905-1962), and later joined by his wife Edna Beilenson (1909–1981), in 1928 and 1929, respectively. They are known for using fine-press principles and practice to produce well-designed, but very affordable publications. Peter Pauper Press is still a family operation, but today it mainly produces commercial novelty, miniature, and children's books.

Art was also a family affair for Aldren Watson. His mother was the American artist Eva Auld Watson and his daughter Wendy Watson is a children's book author and illustrator. Our copy of this book is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.
