My eye is always caught by the hand lettering that is showcased on this show. The medieval writing done with "feathers" and dipping ink. It made me recall Lord Tywin Lannister being shown using a wax seal in another episode. I'm sure this is not all, I'll probably add to this blog as I remember.
Its so inspiring though... Thought I'd share some of this work here... All screenshots copyrighted to HBO.
King Joffrey, whom we all love to hate, was featured in a scene with Jamie Lannister where they discussed the King's security for the upcoming royal wedding.
He opens up the "Book of Brothers" which highlights all the heroic exploits of past members of the King's guard
Lord Tywin writing with a feather dipped in ink in the season 3 opener
Wax seal with what MUST be the House Lannister seal...
Communication was so much more formal and important looking back in those times. Thank goodness for clients that want to retain this medium for their events!
Take care everyone and I'll be back on Friday,
