One of the coolest things I have had in my time at Quaritch - an engraved peepshow of an eighteenth-century bindery

A pleasing initial Q inside Euclid’s ‘Elementa geometriæ’ (#Venice: Erhard Ratdolt, 1482) now @theULSpecColl Inc.3.B.3.23c[1459]. It belonged to the nineteenth-century astronomer John Couch Adams.

💀 A spooky surprise for Halloween: this nineteenth-century Italian memento mori turn-up book unfolds to reveal a decaying corpse; above, the figures' sumptuous clothing falls away to uncover two pairs of skeletal legs, a scythe, and a spade. 🪦

A rather remarkable publisher's binding from 1790.

[STCV. Bibliography of the Hand Press Book @STCVbe]

The beginning of autumn has called students back to their books. The owner of this 1568 edition of Virgil’s Georgics & Aeneid definitely took his studies seriously with notes in the margins & on extra blank leaves. But sometimes you need to let your artistic talent take the lead!
