A Most Curious Museum
I present for your edification and amusement the
The Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies:
Welcome to The Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies... where tools of the trade that have died or have just about died a slow slow death are cheerfully exhibited.
Due to severe government budget cuts to the arts, our little museum's acquisition funds are frankly, well, bupkus. So, we welcome Drawgerers to submit images of any artistic tools, machinery, gadgets, etc. that they feel have bitten the dust.
Chock full of Press-Type, Rubylith and Rapidograph goodness...
Used to do a lot of graphic design back when I had the commercial copy/printing business and used a lot of these things -- also used the computer; it was an interesting trade-off at that time (1990's) which was faster, sometimes traditional methods trumped the computer, sometimes (typesetting especially) the computer trumped traditional methods.
