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! -
