Paris Postcards

An illustrated history lecture built like an antiquarian's postcard archive: bright cream paper written over with a faded dusty-pink copperplate manuscript, letterpress ink, old-style italic serif titles, letterspaced caps mastheads over hairlines, sepia albumen-style prints in thin keyline frames, engraved stamps and postmarks on openings and dividers, perforated stub contents and ticket figures, ruled ledgers, a pinned period map, and one poster-red after-dark accent.
