Look at this cool ampersand:
It has an interesting story too: Jaqui Sharples of Lancashire, England, found this 24 line woodcut letter on eBay where it was being advertised as a “3”. An avid letterpress enthusiast she immediately recognised it as an ampersand, bought it for only £3 and made the beautiful print pictured above.

Jaqui runs a small studio called Print for Love of Wood where she makes many more amazing prints, take a look!
