« his & hers: type | Main | bague en bois »
i've been searching for a copy of "the lovers' pocketbook". printed in london, in 1954, this small book is full of endearing illustrations by raymond peynet. i can't think of a more perfect valentine's day gift. (thank you stephen).
update: yep, this is more perfect! three other vintage raymond peynet books arrived this week.

i love peynet! i found a small silver peynet etched sculpture at a flea market years ago - fell in love with it- and actually ended up getting the etching as a tattoo on my back!
