About This Design
Shakespeare Sonnet 73 (LXXIII) 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 73 (LXXIII), which reads:
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed, whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.

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.
