About This Design

Shakespeare Sonnet 55 (LV) on Parchment Napkin

Shakespeare Sonnet 55 (LV) on Parchment Napkin

What would life be without poetry in general - or Shakespeare in particular? A while back, I decided to make products using Shakespeare's sonnets, but I felt my design was a bit unfulfilled at the time, so I revamped it a bit to something more to my liking. Traditional yet original. The background is a parchment texture I made a while back, and I also found a calligraphic typeface for it that has the almost unique feature of having both historical gravity as well as modern legibility. Obviously there are lots of sonnets to get through, so if you like this design, but cannot find your favourite work by the bard already made in it, please email me at mail@galleryhakon.com to let me know and I'll get to it right away. This particular one is sonnet 55 (LV), which reads: Not marble, nor the gilded monuments Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme; But you shall shine more bright in these contents Than unswept stone, besmear'd with sluttish time. When wasteful war shall statues overturn, And broils root out the work of masonry, Nor Mars his sword, nor war's quick fire shall burn The living record of your memory. 'Gainst death, and all oblivious enmity Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room Even in the eyes of all posterity That wear this world out to the ending doom. So, till the judgment that yourself arise, You live in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes.

Initially I was apprehensive about having these paper napkins printed with the picture my granddaughteer's fiance had sent me. I thought that, because a large part of the photo was taken up with the background, the reproduction on to paper napkins would be poor. However, when the finished product arrived I was very impressed. My granddaughter's photo clearly identified her and the napkins were of a good quaity. The naopkins were a surprise and her face, when she saw them, was, one of delight. Subsequently, they became a talking point amongst all the guests who were unable to attend. I have had no hesitation in purchasing firther merchandise form this company. The colour and clarity of the reproduction was excellent - I could not find anything about the finished product with which I was unhappy.
