The Well-Traveled Ampersand: Cooper Black by Jennifer Farrell

$35.00 - Please contact 23 Sandy for current availability.
The Well-Traveled Ampersand series (of which this is a part) pairs ampersands designed for or evocative of specific locales or cities with imagery of that area. Cooper Black pulls in iconic elements of the Chicago skyline in a nod to its creator and Chicagoan, Oswald Cooper. It is entirely created with metal ornaments from the Starshaped collection, including many cast in Chicago by Barnhart Bros. & Spindler. The form to hold the true shape of the ampersand was cut from wood and the ornaments were set within it.
