The title card….Old Maid cards- Enterprising Maidens. So, yeah we changed the name of Old Maid, because we could. This is the title/colophon card for the deck. It is hand set type (all of it…. thanks for Rebecca for setting a bunch of the name list) Caslon OS (ran out of p’s and e’s so the name list took 2 runs-oh the beauty and patience of letterpress), lino cut, Lettra. Short explanation. There are a couple of cards still out there, but this is it it for the most part. This has been an amazing project. All participants made fantastic cards. It is truly a special deck. 32 characters + the Enterprising Maiden card. More photos of the deck in it’s first public exhibition coming soon. (you may be able to see a quick shot of it at this link later today). But I will post good pics soon.
