#paperhistory — Public Fediverse posts

@tntype @dbellingradt @BiblioWingate @dohanian I found some time yesterday to go over British and American consular trade reports between the 1870s and 1910s and it appears that the majority of printing paper in Bilad al-Sham was imported from Austria-Hungary.

Is there any meaningful literature on the paper trade in the late Ottoman Empire (second half of the 19th century onwards) that I might have missed? I tried all keywords I could think of in the common databases for scholarly literature and searched through works on the history of printing and publishing but came up practically empty-handed.

Amy Ayalon, Hala Auji, Titus Nemeth ( @tntype ), and the late Kathryn Schwartz mention paper in passing. The body of literature on watermarks and manuscripts doesn’t help either as this isn’t concerned with the cheap, industrially produced paper for periodical printing I am interested in.

Is there a chance of @dbellingradt or
@BiblioWingate knowing more?

Let's enjoy a look into book shops of the past. This is a 🧵 especially for #skystorians of #earlymodern Europe, and for #bookhistory, #booksky and #paperhistory nerds 🗃️ Expect, among other bookish stuff, lots of #backwardsbooks, and boxes with paper sheets, and a few sleeping dogs. 1/

Again, #PaperHistory meets protest culture: https://mastodon.social/@morganhill/109419418139356513

While writing and printing your comments and observations on paper was for centuries a way to organize media and social resonance, these recent blank paper protests indicate a shift in #communicationhistory.

Let's dance in the #classroom. There is always this one child in every school class that needs more attention. Greetings to the boy dancing on the table with a big and bound paper book in his hand. Knowledge in motion in a classroom. A superb learning performance, well done little paper dancer. #EduHist #Histknow

All right, see you next time for the next painting analysis focusing on paper. Thank you for your attention to #PaperHistory, dear #histodons.

Let's highlight the centered scene of the painting.

We see a female teacher advising a pupil to read correctly from a small paper book, very likely with a printed text. Also on the table: loose sheets needed for teaching, maybe to write on, maybe to read from. Education was a paper work. #PaperHistory #EduHist #HistKnow #education #teaching

And where to buy all these paper products school kids needed? Well, it was the usual bookseller (plus a few more shop owners) providing all kinds of fresh papers needed, from the ABC booklets to bound educational books to printed images. On the painting you see the variety available on the early modern book markets lying under the table. #PaperHistory #education #eduhist
