Cool endpaper from the 1930 Woodrow Wilson High School yearbook.

I really like this, for a variety of reasons:

  • I have a book background, and I love unusual decorative endpapers and bookplates.
  • I love Texas kitsch (which I’m going to say this is, even if that wasn’t the original intent).
  • I’m a Woodrow alum.

Thank you, anonymous budding (or professional!) typographer!

While we’re at it, here’s the rather oddly and unattractively landscaped school in 1930. (All those “Texases” and no Texas flag?!)
