One of my favorite signage books is the 1900 art nouveau book Neue Schriften und Firmenschilder im Modernen Stil: Series I by J. Lehner and E. Mader, which has been reproduced by Dover Publications. Many of the flat-sign silhouettes and sandwich boards were adapted from it using hand-drawn fonts I have created over the course of my career for the typography. I sought a silly cleverness with each piece, using zebra stripes for the stripes on a barber pole, a porcupine as a pin cushion, a cat that needed to be kept dry in the rain, the metal-looking armor of an armadillo for the ironworks and a wig shop for sheared sheep. All the sketches were concept only, I was not asked to do any drafting. Since I would not be in England during filming, I also provided Ra with many blank period price tags and window show cards that he could adapt as needed on stage.

We shared this love of storytelling and imagination throughout our lives. To the outside world, these eccentricities might be considered a bit mad, but between us, we could share a world of stuffed talking pandas and alley cat adventures with abandon. My work on this project is dedicated to my mother, V. Joreen TenEyck, who passed away on April 4, 2016." Above: Iracebeth's crest (the Red Queen) includes figures that subtly allude to the organic shapes of her vegetable servants. Opposite page, left to right: The crest for the White Queen uses the black-and-white chess pieces for which she is known, more delicate, matching her purer character. John Tenniel's original nineteenth century illustrations of the unicorn and the lion were used for the Witzend crest, although the lion's body had to be redrawn to face center. Dover clipart was used for the banner, crest, the initial "W" and the crown.
