Villas Project

This poster is 28 inches high, and printed on rugged card stock. The mountains and people are from an 1890's French travel agency poster. The typefaces are adapted from vintage Parks Department brochures, and the ornament on the upper left is from a 19th century lead-type catalog. |

The building is scanned from the architect's elevation drawings. The mountains were completely redone, using textures from Hiroshige postcards and other travel posters. The bushes, trees, and people were brought in from other posters. The flowers were taken from an heirloom wildflower guide, and the butterfly was a real, preserved insect. |
