Here is my piece that was on display at the Main Library here in S.F. as part of Kalligraphia 14 in summer 2015. This is my first intaglio print and I look forward to doing many more! (It’s an intaglio linocut.) Its text (in Latin) is in Spencerian script with Baroque flourishes and reads:
Semper Maneat Roſa Buddhārum Dulcis et Bona.
translation: “May the rose of (the) Buddhas, sweet and good, remain forever.” Note the use of the long-s letterform.
