This beautifully designed book traces the Roman capital and its progeny, shown in more than 400 full-color illustrations including Latin inscriptions, calligraphic interpretations, and modern incarnations on advertisements and movie posters. Full of essays by practitioners of typography and lettering, The Eternal Letter is richly detailed and visually captivating, offering a comprehensive examination—from stone carving to computer pixilation—of the classical Roman capital and its eternal power.—Boston Globe—
