I promised to show the real document that I was given when I was made an Honorary Royal Designer for Industry in November. Turns out that I over-promised. The scroll, handset in Caslon by Alan Kitching and handprinted letterpress on handlaid paper, cannot be reproduced in sufficient quality in this medium and at this size to do it any justice at all.

Neither can one possibly appreciate the quality of the tube that the scroll is kept in without holding it in one’s own hot little hands. The lid sits so tightly that it needs no fastening, adhesive tape or anything else.

Here are a scan and a photograph, nevertheless.
