About This Design

Shakespeare Sonnet 71 (LXXI) on Parchment Napkin

Shakespeare Sonnet 71 (LXXI) 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 71 (LXXI), which reads: No longer mourn for me when I am dead Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell Give warning to the world that I am fled From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell: Nay, if you read this line, remember not The hand that writ it, for I love you so, That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then should make you woe. O! if, I say, you look upon this verse, When I perhaps compounded am with clay, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse; But let your love even with my life decay; Lest the wise world should look into your moan, And mock you with me after I am gone.

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.
