BARGEPOLE, besides being an object, is also a British expression; a shortened form of 'I wouldn't touch that with a bargepole.'
It means 'no way.'
An example: 'Do you have a Facebook page' and I could answer 'Bargepole.'For the letterheads, this is inspired by a 1817 Vincent Figgins typeface.

Yesterday I published the story and the photos at https://bl.ag/cuba. This prompted another BLAG member, Mr Matt, to get in touch with four more images that he'd downloaded from the original eBay listings.
These had been sold by the time @letterformarchive was able to start buying, and it's not clear if there may have been others that went even earlier...

My original correspondent, Brennen Bechtol, had already bought one of the prints, but then donated this to @letterformarchive in order to complete the set.
Or so we thought...

"There are some epic photos of a sign painter in 50s Cuba on eBay" was the message I received from BLAG member Brennen Bechtol back in April. This was followed by some pictures and a link to the eBay listings.
Here's a short thread of what happened next, which is documented in more detail at https://bl.ag/cuba.

“Her cafe was my guinea pig — my first branding project”
That’s Michelle, aka All Things Meng, talking about working for her mum’s cafe in this San Francisco Chronicle article:
https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaurants/article/mong-thu-cafe-vietnamese-19503917.php
Which brought me to this photo essay and short film about replacing the gilded sign on the front door:

Michelle also featured in the 'Getting Into It' article on bl.ag earlier this year: https://bl.ag/intoit

Today I learned that the English Martyrs Catholic Church in Worthing is home to a scale replica of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
It was painted at 2/3 scale over a period of 5.5 years by local sign painter Gary Bevans.

Remarkable.
