Not quite sure if this is fully aligned to my corner of #mastodon, but it's so delightfully nerdy that I had to share.

These two dive into many terms for printing and #typography that are still with us today.

If you're into #etymology, #words, #graphicdesign, or #webdesign, then you may enjoy.

The Revolutionary zeal that permeated among the French was so strong, that the goal of spreading their beliefs across Europe felt to them like an all-or-nothing situation.

By its nature, the total war against the established order meant that either they win everything, or lose everything. Nonetheless, the 1815 settlement, though benefited the old order the most, was not a complete defeat for the Revolution either.

Only states waging limited campaigns with established regular forces could hope to keep war and domestic affairs in watertight compartments, as the ladies and gentlemen in Jane Austen's novels were just doing in Britain. Age of Revolution 1789-1848 Eric Hobsbawm
The Revolution waged neither a limited campaign nor had it established forces: for its was oscillated between the maximum victory of world revolution and the maximum defeat which meant total counterrevolution. Age of Revolution 1789-1848 Eric Hobsbawm

My linocut print of Occam’s Razor shows Ockham himself, inspired by an image of him from a stained glass window in Surrey, the proverbial and labelled razor and many unlikely things (aliens, ghosts, cryptozoological creatures) it would cut away. It is printed by hand, from two carved relief lino blocks in lavender, silver, pale yellow and phthalo blue on delicate Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper. Each print is 8" by 9" or 20.3 cm by 22.9 cm.
