First engraving block, inked so I can see it again to continue. #AModestProposal

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

Progress on the 2-block engraving of #AModestProposal.

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

Pagination style. A little bit of asymmetry goes a long way. #PrideAndPrejudice

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

Swift not so swift. But let's clear the decks. #AModestProposal

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

Perseverance.

Rolling out the bookplates. #JaneAusten

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

Just a little more fine tuning on the Austen block.

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

Rolling some ink over the block reveals that this #JaneAustenPortrait is going well. Put on the kettle.

@TheSalvagePress Ernest had one binding presentation only. A slipcase is possible with some pieces of the velvet left. Have to check.

Bookplate update. A face! #PrideAndPrejudice

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

L'aimable Jane. After working on maple, resingrave is speedy. But my tools are sharper too. #PrideAndPrejudice

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

bookplate: Jane in her pelisse, on 3x4 resingrave. Time to sharpen the tools.

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

Just got to handle a first edition of Sense and Sensibility. That's my boost for the day.

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

Final proof. At last. Hope you like it.

#PrideAndPrejudice broadside: one more layer to go.

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

Second run of gold. #PrideAndPrejudice broadside.

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

Liquid gold always impresses me.

[The Bowler Press @BowlerPress]

First black layer down on the #PrideAndPrejudice broadside. What a fine thing for our girls!
