Decorative letters - can we complete the set?

  • jules by jules moderator

    I have noticed several collections of these decorative letters. They are generally from "Wiltshire archaeological and natural history magazine" and "Hardwicke's Science Gossip". I wondered if we might be able to complete the alphabet and have been trying to fill the gaps in my own collection so. . .

    These are my missing letters - does anyone have any examples?

    Here are my collections if you wanted to compare:

    I think I'm missing the same ones as you. But will go through them again and let you know 😃

    Thanks @yshish. I had a look and couldn't find the missing ones. I doubt we'll get the complete alphabet but thought it worth asking. Galaxy Zoo and Plankton Portal have their alphabets so why not?! 😃

    We'll have to replace the missing ones with some regular letters from headings for the meantime 😃

    BTW, I've found some letters in the pictures of Floating Forests too! Not much for an alphabet so far.. but who knows what is waiting for me there? 😃
