Oh, Deer!
This 1590 hunting book (French but verteuscht) starts with the tracking basics, but ends up somehow with a cervine ghost on its hands... then there's the relic-like presentation of the disembodied horn trophies! #NewberryLibrary https://i-share-nby.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01CARLI_NBY/i5mcb2/alma993571288805867

Natural Disasters, 1843 Edition
Chapbook from Vienna lamenting an earthquake that took out 3/4 of the houses on the Lesser-Antilles isle of Guadaloupe, and all the churches, except one with a clock stuck at the time of impact! More eerily familiar bad old days reporting here: #NewberryLibrary (Case Wing ZC 1 .19 no. 47)

Her . . . Funeral?
Rather taken by this late 18th c. trade card for Susanna Cook, Carpenter, Trunk, and Box-Maker! She even offered "carry-on sizes" and performed funerals. Wonder if it was only for male Londoners?

Don't You LOVE IT When A Book You Want...
Is one you already have? I'd been lusting after another copy of this beautifully engraved, anonymous Theater of Love from c. 1608.
Now I'm thrilled it's already enjoying its HEA at #NewberryLibrary! (Wing folio ZP 6461 .18) #ShopMyClosetIt's even interactive! That pristine shield waits for a bon mot, risqué comment, or doodle...
There's also the game of what are all those background couples up to. And WHO decided her decolletage was too revealing?!

What Have We Here?
Maybe the best response to a virtual class visit, EVER?
I did show up (as requested) in a Marie Antoinette wig to discuss ephemeral erotica about her, and (of course), to plug our Pop-Up Book exhibition at #newberrylibrary! -

Your Best Is All You Can Doo
Getting Bohemian Rhapsody energy off of this inspired bit of swordplay:

Tell-All Volvelle?
Newly re-cataloged to include the movable bits! This hand-drawn "Viennese Oracle" dial from 1798 points you to one of 16 riddles and presumably, THE TRUTH!

Two Heads (of State)
Are Better Than OneIsabella 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!

These clever reversible ribbons with their impressive tassels were the pride of local Midwestern groups who assembled on holidays and to say goodbye to some of their own in more muted colors.#NewberryLibrary Helen Sclair Funerary Collection #fadetoblack #tassels

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!

Protection Racket?
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!
