Today’s Get The Look is dedicated to chef Julia Child, who was born 100 years ago today. (Respect to the always amazing Letterheady for posting Ms. Child’s delectable circa-1982 letterhead!)
This stationery must be from when Julia was spending time on The Continent, as it is European A4 sized. The script appears hand-engraved, exuding old-world elegance, while the simple line art graphic of saucepans and potatoes charmingly references cookbook illustrations. You can practically smell the potato and leek soup simmering, an effect we’re sure Julia expressly intended for all of her important missives.
HOW TO GET THE LOOK:
- Paper: Mohawk 70# Text in Linen Restful Blue
- Inks: Engraved in Dark Blue (Reflex Blue or Pro Blue would be a close match)
- Font: Hand engraving. Barring that, “Quill” is a virtually identical script typeface.
- Artwork: Line art illustration
