#ManuscriptMonday

It's the beginning of American Archives Month and Family History Month. And it's #ManuscriptMonday! (A history trifecta, woohoo!)

What better day than today to take a look at the manuscript collections of "47th Pennsylvania Volunteers: One Civil War Regiment's Story"? First up? The letters of Sergeant John G. Helfrich that the 47th Pennsylvania project is helping to preserve: https://47thpennsylvaniavolunteers.com/letters-home/the-scribes-of-the-47th-pennsylvania-volunteers/sergeant-john-gross-helfrich-yearning-for-peace-while-fighting-for-country-cause-and-honor/john-g-helfrichs-civil-war-letters-pennsylvania-volunteers-47th-regiment-january-1862-spring-1864/

Wisdom of the Ages
Looks like the book is getting a ringing endorsement from Athena and her owl!

Let's Play 16 Questions
The topics range widely...
So, where DOES friendship come from? Clearly by playing with this book together!

Inspired by https://aus.social/@MarkIngs/109795975914685582 I decided to revive gathering all weekday-related #photography hashtags I know about.

Two Heads (of State)
Are Better Than One

Isabella Clara Eugenia and her husband Albert BOTH grace this well-used seal and are named above! She's the slightly taller figure on the right. They were co-governing the Spanish Netherlands in 1614 when this document was signed... She appears to be taller than him in almost all portraits, except when forced to sit down!

Scrapbooking Century

J. O. Westwood wrote an 1846 book on manuscript illumination, but this larger volume full of drawn and printed reproductions paints a much messier picture of his writing process!

What are THOSE up at the top of this enormous choirbook?

#NewberryLibrary #ManuscriptMonday (Case MS oversize 87)

Looks like leftover stitching from one of the largest silk curtains I've ever (not) seen! And many of the initials are faking us out with faux stitching around the edges!

There are also scads of fabric tabs marking out different sections of the book, and that IHS sun at the end (next to another set of tabs) is a doozy!
