A delightful signed print by famed calligrapher and type designer Julian Waters. Waters lists dozens of delicious foods in a repeating alphabetical sequence to show off this particular typeset. Foods listed include champagne, flambe, daiquiris, enchiladas, zabaglione, escarole, lobster, kebabs, ravioli, mulligatawny, ales, sauerkraut, hazelnuts, and many more. When the list gets to the "Y"'s, a distinct "Yum" is playfully inserted to certainly express the artist's opinion of all of these wonderful foods.
