About This Design

Vintage Musical (Gilbert) Tie

Vintage Musical (Gilbert) Tie

Musicians, lyricists, and other musical types will enjoy this 1877 antiquarian art nouveau book cover design from W.S. Gilbert's Fifty Bab Ballads. It was a collection written under the name "Bab" by W.S. Gilbert (he of Gilbert & Sullivan musical fame) and was created for a journal called "Fun" in 1861. He had written them under pressure as he needed the meagre payments, and they were ""composed hastily, and under the discomforting necessity of having to turn out a quantity of lively verse on a certain day of each week." They were written in the style of nonsense, satire and absurdity.

Very happy with 1) quality of the print 2) quality & cut of the tie 3) speed of manufacturing 4) communication & 5) delivery to UK. I discovered the product just 2 weeks before a wedding so had to use the express delivery but it arrived within days so I could relax. My first experience of this seller & Zazzle and both were great .

I wasn't sure what to expect but was excited to have a tie for my husband which matched my wedding attire. A super easy process taking a photo of my dress and uploading it to the website. I waited in anticipation not knowing how it would turn out. I couldn't believe the quality, its excellent. The print, pattern and colour is strong and vibrant. I have uploaded a photo but its difficult to see the tie against the dress because the quality is exceptional. I would have no hesitation using this company again.
