Shakespeare Sonnet 18 (XVIII) on Parchment Photo Print

Shakespeare Sonnet 18 (XVIII) on Parchment Photo Print

What would life be without poetry in general - or Shakespeare in particular? A while back, I decided to make products using Shakespeare's sonnets, but I felt my design was a bit unfulfilled at the time, so I revamped it a bit to something more to my liking. Traditional yet original. The background is a parchment texture I made a while back, and I also found a calligraphic typeface for it that has the almost unique feature of having both historical gravity as well as modern legibility. Obviously there are lots of sonnets to get through, so if you like this design, but cannot find your favourite work by the bard already made in it, please email me at mail@galleryhakon.com to let me know and I'll get to it right away. This particular one is sonnet 18 (XVIII), which reads: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date; Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. By many considered the most "romantic" of his sonnets, this one is perhaps the one most suitable as a gift to your significant other for Valentine's Day, anniversary, special birthday, as a morning present after a wedding, or even as part of your wedding theme.

This was a wonderful save the date design. It was simple and not too busy which enabled our picture to pop. We added a magnet on the back which we purchased elsewhere, and everyone loved it! We get getting pictures of our guests’ fridge with our save the date on it. It was very simple to customize this card (yet time consuming because I’m a perfectionist). The print turned out to be even better than I expected. We are super pleased!!!!
