Thrilled and honoured to receive a Starting Grant from @ERC_Research for my project *WidowsPrint*.

The project will investigate how economic developments influenced the rights and the agency of widows in the German print industry, c. 1500-1700.

More details soon! For now 🍾

In June, we had a small conference on type specimens at the Deutsches Technikmuseum. Now I’ve typed up my introduction on using those specimens as sources for research. There’s lots more to say about digitization, but here’s a start: https://t.co/TY2sx45YEE

This drawer, from a cabinet that was once in the Reichsdruckerei, has about 100 hand-cut steel punches from Ferdinand Theinhardt. Less than a dozen people have seen it IRL since 1983, but you can come look at it next Saturday during @LNDMberlin (also with a big magnifying glass)
