I make collages and word posters from vintage and retro illustrations and images in the public domain. Here’s my latest piece, ‘J is for Journey’.
Had a lot of fun making this one, a lot of good words that begin with J 😊

H… Hm… I think my favorite H word is “hohlraum”, not sure if you could find an illustration though.
You definitively have to have “hieroglyph”, maybe “hangul” but illustration could be a challenge, there are some interesting illustrations of “hyperborea”. “Hierophant”, “Henry VIII”, “Hansel and Gretel”, “Hans Christian Andersen”… a lot of animals and plants like “horse”, “hippopotamus”, “hedgehog”, “hen”… “hyacinth”, “hemlock”, “hemp”… “helicopter”, “hovercraft”, “hyperbaric chamber”… “Hans Christian Joachim Gram”, “Alexander von Humboldt”, “Jürgen Habermas”, “Grace Hopper”, “Henrietta Swan Leavit”. This one might be a bit grim to illustrate: “Henrietta Lacks”. “Hodgepodge”, “Helen of Troy”, “Himalayas”, “hot porridge”, “Hyperion”.
A lot to choose from 😄
Thank you! Some great suggestions, and I’ll definitely include Hieroglyph and Himalayas!
A lot of the others I already have. Think I’ll save Hohlraum for possible future German posters 😅 Also think radiation thermodynamics might be a bit outside of my target group 🤔
Henrietta Lacks — a culture in a petri dish, maybe? You’re right, probably a bit too grim, again with the target group in mind 😅
I’m trying to include Greek mythology a lot (even considering a whole poster with just that theme), but not sure if Hyperion is well known enough. I do love Dan Simmons’ “Hypreion Cantos”, so maybe it’s justified. The way I curate the images/words is definitely very colored by my personal preferences 😊
