These are some frames and motto art I made for my wife’s birthday. Some include the popular Dard Hunter rose motif. Dard was a famous Roycroft print designer. The longer text is a beautiful quote from Elbert Hubbard’s 1906 book White Hyacinths. The book was written over a hundred years ago, yet it must have been written for my wife. I own an original leather bound copy of the book and I treasure it, but not nearly as much as I treasure my wife.

Very, very nice project. Great quotes—well worth “zooming” to read. The calligraphy is outstanding and so very period appropriate, did you do that also?

Beautiful frames and quotes : )

Hillbillyshooter,
Yes, I printed the text and artwork. I purchased the font and figure set from P22 Press. It is based on the original Roycroft printing press font. It includes the Dard Hunter roses and many other graphics to choose from.
Thanks
