Who drew the letters and the scissors, and where the images come from.
RECORTA is made of a lot of other people’s work, and I like saying whose each piece is. Here are the people who drew the letters and the museums and libraries that opened their archives.

Merci ! Hésite pas à me tagger (@erwanleretif) si tu postes ton projet avec cette typo sur Instagram ou d'autres réseaux ! :)
The scissors
Drawn by Sara Beneti in snakeskin, one black and one white, with googly eyes that came alive on the site. Every so often it snips, and its eyes follow your mouse.
Where the images come from
All 500 pieces come from museums, libraries and archives that released their collections into the public domain. Each piece has its full credit on its card in the collection.
