@GaryLoew Have to take 19th century release dates with a grain of salt. They weren’t big FDC ceremonies like today. They were subject to distribution quirks. Often dates listed in literature are secondhand from semiofficial sources and subject to reevaluation based on items like this.
@tagula_blue This trial was made in 1909 as part of a test for converting the 1½d, 2d and 4d to monochrome. The 4d was issued. The 2d design proved unsuitable for monochrome so was replaced by the 2d Tyrian plum, which was withdrawn when the King died. The monochrome 1½d was also abandoned.
@NormEisen This will turn out to be what clinches the veep spot for her. Mark my words. She’s proving she can do crazy just as well as Trump. That’s my hot take, you’re welcome.
@jstrelioff I wrote a book on branding ten years ago and always assumed it would be irrelevant after a decade. What factor(s) do you think are causing the greatest changes in the field today vs 10 yrs ago—globalization? shifting design philosophy? AI?
Thanks!

The other thing that escalates quickly besides the hatred and violence is the complexity. Way too much for us parochial ‘Murricans to wrap our heads around. We like our shit simple.
@HangleyJr Yup, I was there with you and remember it all too well. Somehow, without Twitter, without Fox, without the 24-hour news cycle we still got close to the full effect. The world has never been the same. #RIPnicole
