Living in Letters: Ten Alphabet Palaces

If we understand the situation correctly, The Merrion Press in London issued a series of fold-outs mounted into folders. They called them friezes. The letters in this frieze are taken from Architectural Alphabet 1773 edited by Berthold Wolpe. This 10-panel frieze shows ten letters (A, B, C, S, P, Q, R, X, Y, and Z) from an alphabet made of architectural plans developed by Johann Steingruber (1702–1787). A flight of fancy for those who fancy flights of frameworks and formations related to letters and buildings.
