I think this must win the prize for the best place card of 2023. After yesterday’s posting it should be easy to guess where it was, even if you don’t recognise the heraldry … I love the pen work flourishes. Very handsome.

Wonderful manuscripts @GettyMuseum today - and really beautifully displayed. I think I like the E initial best.
