These pictures of letters are from "The Book of Ornamental Alphabets, Ancient and Mediæval" collected and engraved by Freeman Gage Delamotte (1814—1862); published in London by Crosby Lockwood and Co., 1879; the images are out of copyright. They were decorative initials (drop cap letters) in manuscripts originally.

Use the download link for a zip file of the letter images; see my Web site (below) for the font:

Please leave a comment if you download the actual font, or if you use it.

I'm experimenting with uploading some of the image I have scanned for my Web site [link] to deviantart, for the use of people here. These images are all without charge for non-commercial use on DeviantArt.

Please comment on the items you used, wth a link to your work, so others can see what you did. I'll also add your deviation to my favourites.

If you make a print or use the images outside deviantart, you can either (1) go barefoot for a whole day, or (2) use the Donate button on my Web site. Or both :D but in either case let me know what you did.

There are usually higher resolution versions of the images on my Web site, and I have even higher resolution scans (usually 2400dpi) for people who want them, free for use on deviantart, but you have to ask (there's a Comment button by each image on my Website, or send me a note here or as =barefootliam with full details). There's no point uploading huge images here, though, most people just want the smaller ones.

It's a lot of work to scan thousands of images and clean them up carefully, so even though the images are out of copyright, and in fact you can do what you like with them, I ask that you understand I can only provide the images with support from others.

Thanks!

Thanks! A minor note - the text in the book would look a lot better with even word spacing, e.g. if you used left alignment and not justification.

Good luck with the contest!

Yes, you're right. I used justification when the book wasn't cropped: I cropped the picture in a second time, to give a better impact to the main subject (the model). Now, of course, an alignment will suit better, but if I want to change the text, I must re-tape it (it was distorted to follow the shape of the book, so it is no more considered as a text by GIMP, but as a picture, and I can't change it anymore), and I'm tired to do and redo this picture... :(

Thank you! :D

I didn't know you had used the gimp, cool!

Anyway, no problem, I pointed it out here and not on the main picture page so most people won't notice :D

We hope to be able to introduce editable distorted text into GIMP but I think it will be at least another year.
