Some pretty #PastePaper to start the week. Paste papers are decorative papers that have been created using a mixture of paste and pigment and have been popular since the 17th century.
One of the books acquired with the support of Bader Philanthropies has a fascinating provenance. Read how Bader Digital Humanities Undergraduate Research Assistant, Haley Svensrud, exercised historical research skills to uncover a direct connection to Sir Isaac Newton #Bader100
Blue #foreedges on the cataloging truck! Written by Patrick Colquhoun and published in 1800, A treatise on the Commerce and Police of the River Thames compliments Colquhoun's report arguing for a regular police force in London.
Published in 1729, The rise and fall of Masaniello, the fisherman of Naples, details the life of Masaniello, who rose to prominence as a leader of a popular uprising against Spanish rule in 1647.
Happy #MarbledMonday! This modern double comb pattern is from our 1735 edition of An Essay on Reason.
This charming book spine has a hidden danger - the green paper label contains arsenic. Arsenic can be present in and on the bookcloth of books from the 19th century, as well as on the endpapers, fore-edges, and paper labels.
Medieval manuscripts can teach us a lot about recycling. Paper and parchment were precious materials and often got reused. Look at this early medieval century codex with a leaf from a musical manuscript in its binding. Latin MS 104 luna.manchester.ac.uk/luna/servlet/s… #GreenRylands
We hope that the showers of April will bring May flowers as beautiful as these! From our 1732 edition of The flower-garden display'd. #AprilShowersBringMayFlowers
#MarbledEndpapers from our 1595 edition of the Geneva Bible. Also shown is the personal bookplate of John Brown, Esq., Hamilton, Ont., Oct. 1869.
As we look back at the spectacular celestial event that occurred earlier this week, we have a book recommendation to end the week. "World of Comets" by Amédée Guillermin was originally published in French in 1875, and in English in 1877
Through the meticulous restoration of this Bible's page by an early owner, readers are now able to tangibly connect with the rich history of this #16thcentury artifact.
Are you interested in learning more about solar eclipses? Then you'll be happy to know that the 1854 General Atlas of the World has got you covered totally! It provides detailed illustrations of solar eclipses, including partial, annular, and total eclipses. #SolarEclipse2024
Looking to expand your knowledge about astronomy? "An Easy Introduction to Astronomy, for Young Gentlemen and Ladies," published in 1769, and written by James Ferguson, it is known for its lucid explanations and useful diagrams.
#PublishersBindingThursday is an appropriate day to post "The Sun: Its Planets and Their Satellites," as we eagerly anticipate the upcoming eclipse. Published in 1882, it was authored by Edmund Ledger (1841-1914), a popular Professor of Astronomy who lectured at Gresham College.
Pasted to the front cover and inside front cover: "This book belongs to John Booth's Library, Duke Street, Portland Place, Mary-le-Bone." From our 1795 copy of The history and antiquities of the parish of St. Saviour's, Southwark, illustrated with plates. #Provenance #18thcentury
Are you soaking up the sun this long weekend? Donning a fancy hat, perhaps? Whatever you are up to, we hope you're having a fantastic time! [Undated photo of woman wearing a fancy hat] #FancyHat #VintagePhotography #SpecialCollections #LongWeekend
