Freeman Gage Delamotte was an artist,photographer and wood engraver. Hisfather was the landscape painter William De La Motte. His brother, Philip Delamotte, was one of the first documentary photographers.He published three successful alphabet books.Most of his lettering is typical of the Victorian tradition that adds ornament to simple silhouettes. He was born at Sandhurst in 1814, and died in his London studio in 1862.
There was a time when Victorian letterforms were new and inspiring.
This book shows alphabets made from shrubbery and decorated with foilage. It plays with threedimensional letters and drop shadows. Some are woven and interlaced. All this was rejected and abandoned by generations that followed. Now it is back. We embraced decorated letters as soon as digital tools made them available again.
In its time, Freeman Gage Delamotte’s work was eagerly studied by draughtsmen and surveyors, masons, decorative painters, lithographers, engravers and carvers. It was practical and it was successful.
As a sampler of nineteenth-century tradition in ornamental letters, few books can equal it.
