ill., br. "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog" è il pangram più famoso in lingua inglese, ovvero la frase di senso compiuto più breve possibile in cui vengono utilizzate tutte le lettere dell'alfabeto. Proprio per questo si presta per testare con semplicità la resa grafica dei caratteri tipografici: tutte le lettere, subito, a disposizione, che si nascondono in costruzioni, segnali stradali e arredi urbani. Sono sottili, immobili, non urlano per essere sentite, ma sono ovunque. Sono caratteri di vita urbana, un continuo fluire tipografico silenzioso, un "dalla A alla Z" realizzato interamente a Londra con la collaborazione di Andreu Llorens. Da un'idea a metà fra design e fotografia, il repertorio dei 26 caratteri stampati e rilegati.

Limited Edition of only 425 copies. Third Edition. Nice example." The story is about an attempt to uncover the identity of Mr W.H., the enigmatic dedicatee of Shakespeare's Sonnets. It is based on a theory, originated by Thomas Tyrwhitt, that the Sonnets were addressed to one Willie Hughes, portrayed in the story as a boy actor who specialized in playing women in Shakespeare's company. This theory depends on the assumption that the dedicatee is also the Fair Youth who is the subject of most of the poems. The only evidence for this theory is a number of sonnets (such as Sonnet 20) that make puns on the words 'Will' and 'Hues." - Wiki. Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish writer and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays, and the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death. - Wiki. PRESS/W39. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
