Here’s an unusual Old Advertisement.This is another one from an Antique Rubber Stamp Catalog in my collection. This graphic was used for a Dry Goods and Millinery Store, and shows an odd looking fellow with a very long Mustache and some Spectacles. I’ve included the original version, as well as a second one without the text on it, so that you can add your own message.

Hi Karen,
I live in Cambridgeshire, England and have just discovered your blog and I am totally hooked. I think it is fantastic and very informative, it has also helped me find likewise blogs. I love the French Typography, it is what led me to your site and I can’t wait to try the transfer methods out, I have been busy buying materials this week. So it won’t be long before I make a posting to your site. I haven’t been able to find many good sites like yours in the UK, they mostly seem to be in America, so sourcing some the the materials listed is a challenge, but at least I get the idea. Anyhow thanks for running such a good blog and giving me lots of inspiration.
Best Wishes
Rae.

I just found this fabulous picture. I am (sort of) sure that this man is meant to be the actor E.A. Sothern, who was very famous in his day as the character of Lord Dundreary in the play “Our American Cousin”. He created this character out of a no-line walk-on part into the comedy role of the day. He spoke with a lisp and wore bizarre huge sideburns, which became known as “dundrearies”. Look him up — this actor was a hoot!
