WHITTINGHAM INITIALS
The Whittinghams, Charles the Elder (1767-1840), who founded the Chiswick Press, and his nephew and successor Charles the Younger (1795–1876), were among the finest English printer/publishers of the 19th century, noted especially for the quality of typographic design and evenness of printing. Their firm was also the chief printer for bookseller/publisher William Pickering, whose own devotion to quality was exemplified in his use of Aldus Manutius's anchor & dolphin printer's mark, combined with the motto Aldi Discipulus Anglus (Aldus's English Disciple).
Many of the distinctive, wood-engraved initials the Whittinghams used were designed by Charles II himself along with his artist daughters Charlotte and Elizabeth, almost all of which were engraved by English book illustrator and wood engraver Mary Byfield (1795-1871). The Whittingham initials shown here are from the 1896 Grolier Club publication, The Charles Whittinghams Printers by Arthur Warren (1860-1924), which itself is printed by one of the finest 19th-century American printers, Theodore Low De Vinne (1828-1914), who printed the book on handmade paper in an edition of 185 copies. Our copy is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff, a Grolier Club member.

Eye themed podcast mc's be like
I drew them a wee bit ago but finished them up today cause some of y'all seemed to want to see them ^^
alt version underneath -scopophobia warning-
tbh they were all really fun to draw, I wanted to try different facial features for each of them but they mostly ended up with long thin faces :') so I kinda still got a bit of same face syndrome there.
Personal notes-
I lowkey headcanon Arthur's right eye, the one with the sandstorm scarring, got kinda damaged from that and is pulled a bit tighter. He's also got a nose that's been broken in the past, same as Juno.
Juno ended up so pretty eeee, I wasn't sure how I wanted to do the eyepatch but I kinda like the design.
Was going for a librarian look for Jon, but a rather disheveled and paranoid one. I'm really happy with how his nose turned out, I figured out how to shade noses through this piece.
Cecil was very fun to do as well, I wanted to push his design a bit into more femme styles than I usually see cause I feel like Cecil's the kinda guy to fuck with gender a bit.
Arthurs design is probably set end of s3 start of s4.
Juno's from s3 onward.
Jon's around end of s2 through s3.
Cecil exists out of times constraints.

It is amazing how much murder I am perfectly willing to overlook for a sad wet cat podcast man. "Oh, you killed someone? You poor dear, come have a cup of tea and let me hug you"

I love it so much that I've gone in blind to multiple audio dramas that have eventually come to the major plot point "our protagonist's secret gift is that he's been so traumatized it's turned into a supernatural power"
