Officina Typographica (Latin for printing office) was a constellation located east of Sirius. It was created by Johann Bode in the late eighteenth century, and included in his star atlas Uranographia. It was used at least in one other star atlas, but quickly fell out of use.

WOW!!!

Marisco Kings Series Wine Labels
Decided it was about time to post about my new favourite wine bottles. I bought one of these the other day and it is just too lovely to contemplate drinking. The calligraphy was actually done by one of my tutors, the extremely talented Peter Gilderdale. Not sure of where they are stocked other than in NZ, but if you do manage to get your hands on one, they are even more impressive in real life, with the texture of the printing making it seem like every bottle has been individually scribed.
