And that's it! Sent off the new training set and hopefully improve the issues I have encountered!
I will also use this model for the 1728 print. It's a different printing press, but overall, the two prints are very much alike, and so is the type they use.

This phenomenon is highlighted because the model I've been training to recognize the text had too few characters in cursive in the training set. So they get misread, and I have to correct them, thus becoming hyperaware of these differences in the typesetting.
When I'm done, I will reconstruct the sheets and printing order to look at the distribution of spelling and other errors and typographical conventions. Exciting!

In the '70s and '80s, if you wanted to set type for yourself, you had to resort to presstype, transfer lettering, Letraset – there were a bunch of names and a bunch of brands, of which Letraset was the highest quality. I think this stuff cost about $8 a sheet back then, when I was making about $2 an hour, so it was a real indulgence, and once I chose a sheet, it got used for any project I needed type for.

Improbably, I’m about to hit 11,000 followers on Mastodon—that’s nearly 40% of what I had on Twitter and 4,000% better conversation! I had a week-end 10% off sale of my ebooks and letterpress-printed books and other material when I hit 10,000.

I’m doing a flash 10% sale again for the next 24 hours! Go to glog.glennf.com/the-store and use code MASTELEVEN at checkout!

James Joyce wrote as much as a third of Ulysses at the *proof stage*…forcing the [repeated] resetting of the type of nearly every page.

A little print history. John Peters, former RAF pilot, was a designer at Cambridge University Press post war. He designed several fonts inc. Castella for Monotype. He founded The Vine Press in Hilton which handset and printed short-run books on a Cope and Sherwin press. Here's a link to my MA dissertation on his work and life hellolovely.design/johnpeters

My day job is at a and I've been looking at a lot of Daumier lately and I'd like everyone to know that in the early- to mid- in France there was a trend where cartoonists would draw a pear to represent the king to flout censorship laws, please enjoy this blog I found explaining the trend: henripeyrefi.ws.gc.cuny.edu/20

The crude but hilarious and charming woodcuts in this spelling book are by English artist Joseph Crawhall II.

This little gem from 1884 (first edition) is a great example of the chap book revival led by Crawhall and The Leadenhall Press.

I love the silliness and artistic freedom of this.
