AND #5

'And' is a large format, striking, typographic poster inspired by the classic ampersand ligature.

In the first century, Roman scribes wrote in cursive, so when they wrote the Latin word ‘et’ meaning ‘and’, they linked the E and T. Over time, the ‘&’ ligature’ came to signify the word ‘and’ in English.

'And' symbolises the coming together of two characters, combing and collaborating together.

The print is created on high quality 297gsm, Crane & Co, 100% Cotton paper.

This is number 5 in a limited edition run of 7. Each print is unique in both style and layout.

Each limited edition, letterpress print has been hand inked and printed. They are individually signed, numbered and embossed. All posters will be carefully wrapped in tissue paper and shipped in a cardboard tube.

Fresh Lemon Print by Phil Gambrill is a typographic and letterpress studio creating limited edition art using traditional printing techniques.

Phil is an award-winning graphic designer who started his career as a designer in London's West End. He worked with a number of high-profile music industry clients before co-founding Fresh Lemon UK in 2002.

In 2015 he branched out to Perth, Australia and established Fresh Lemon Pty Ltd. Shortly afterwards Phil reignited his passion for vintage printing processes and started to get ‘hands on’ once again. He imported printing presses, type cases and equipment from around the world to start up Fresh Lemon Print.

He now enjoys nothing more than lifting a fresh print from the press and marvelling at the wonderful imperfections caused by the aging wood type, whilst cursing in frustration as to why certain letters, just won’t print!
