Halved peaches engrave like nothing else on this site: the stone, the flesh and the skin come out of hatching alone, with no flat gray anywhere. Nine oval cartouches, the double-ruled frame holding them in axial symmetry, and the title in spaced bodoni capitals over the six roman numerals.

What this style does
Pen and black ink engravings, with no flat gray at all: every halftone comes from the density of the hatching. Each ingredient sits in an oval cartouche with a double rule, and the page is symmetrical inside a double-ruled frame.
Very slightly broken paper, black alone, gray kept for secondary type. A bodoni in spaced capitals, roman numerals for the steps. The object it imitates is a perfumer's label.
Who it is for
Quiet kitchens, old apartments, the gift that should look expensive without raising its voice.
What is in it
8 peaches, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup whole milk, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 lemon, 1 tsp vanilla extract.
