Line Art

While the book is mainly photographic, a certain percentage of it can be what is called line art: maps, advertisements, brochures, etc. Our book doesn’t include much line art, but what we did include was pretty darn cool, if we do say so ourselves. But, just like the photographs, there were some great pieces of line art that simply didn’t make it into the book.

The first piece is a copy of old official Skagit County letterhead from the early 1900s:

The County Records Office was an unexpected treasure trove. They were warm, welcoming, enthusiastic, and very helpful. Plus they had some really great images they happily shared with us.

Another favorite of ours was a stamp from the 1913 Mount Vernon Pow-Wow, courtesy of the Roger Fox collection:

Never heard of the Pow-Wow? We hadn’t either, but that is one of the many fascinating things you can learn about when the book arrives.
