Catalogue from the exhibition ‘Alphabet Museum’ held at the Lettering Arts Centre in 2018, and curated by master carver Eric Marland.

‘The alphabet …. contains our cultural DNA, all human thought recorded in its codes [allows] us to commune with those long dead and communicate with those far away.’

‘This eclectic exhibition with its focus solely on the alphabet is an attempt to raise the status of this most useful tool. We seek to create a space where one can not only see some fine examples of calligraphic and carved alphabets in many manifestations and styles, but also to contemplate the thing itself, without being distracted by the words it so adeptly conveys.’ From the catalogue foreword by curator Eric Marland.
