Show HN: Garden of Flowers – an archive of pictorial typography before ASCII art

I created an archive called Garden of Flowers, which showcases pictorial typography and text art from before ASCII art. The archive includes ~2500 images from the 1600s to present, sourced from public digital collections and national libraries. It's incomplete and may contain errors, but corrections and additional leads are welcome. The website is browseable and an essay on its creation is available online.
