a dying art

The illusion of dimensional lettering on a flat surface is often created with five premixed tones: light side, shadow side, dark accent, highlight, and cast shadow. Such work takes specialized brushes and brush skills, and it’s a dying art in many other countries. (other than Ireland)

Sign painters are stuff legends are made of

Eldorado is a city in Saline County, Illinois. The population was 4,534 at the 2000 census, with a 1925 peak of 8,000. Although the city’s name is spelled as if it were Spanish, it is pronounced el-dah-raid-o. Originally, the name was “Elder-Reado” — a combination of the last names of the town’s two founders, Judge Samuel Elder and Joseph Read. According to legend, a sign painter for the railroad painted the name “Eldorado” on the train depot; as a result, the spelling and pronunciation was forever changed.
