Hand-coloured engravings for #FrontispieceFriday, from the 1822 second edition of Sarah Atkins Wilson's Fruits of Enterprize, a study of the Italian strongman-turned-explorer Giovanni Battista Belzoni https://t.co/tAuunI2cDP
Both copies are 1677, but the imprint varies. Our 1901 catalogue notes one as "large paper" and the second as "[Another ed.]"; our modern catalogue has the most basic of entries. Time to put some flesh on the bones! #cataloguing #SpecialCollections #RareBooks #frontispieceFriday

#FrontispieceFriday featuring some of our favourite things: big hats, weird hands, and illustrations of books with book clasps! From a 1646 first edition of Christ Mighty in Himself & Members, which also features a very lopsided title page https://t.co/UTC20SXmB6
Surrounded by Roman remains, famed #18thcentury antiquary Dr William Stukeley presents himself as an initiate to Britannia, to learn the secrets of Ancient Britain in his "Itinerarium Curiosum" (1724). #FrontispieceFriday https://t.co/LMwZN7oiAy
#FrontispieceFriday The weekend is just peeking around the corner! Almost exactly like these geese from the frontispiece of the first edition of The Young Emigrants; or, Pictures of Canada, 1826, by Catharine Parr Traill (née Strickland) https://t.co/gQfrfAXJMd
Frontispiece to volume two of Piranesi’s Views of Rome #frontispiecefriday #frontispiece #roma #capriccio #architecture #architectureonpaper @uofsclibraries @uofscdigicoll @UofSCRareBooks
You know how sometimes you go looking for one thing and but get completely distracted by what's beside it? Yeah. That. Filippo Buonanni's Recreatio mentis (Rome, 1684). #FrontispieceFriday #FishFriday
Title page (1) and #frontispiece (2) to #Piranesi’s Views of #Rome. Merging fact & fantasy, verbal & visual, they are initiations to the manipulated realities and word-image composites of the Views of Rome. #frontispiecefriday #eighteenthcentury @uofscdigcoll @uofsclibraries

Left or right? Commonwealth or Restoration? It’s #paradiselost this #frontispiecefriday from @UARKLibraries.
Happy birthday, #LauraIngallsWilder this #frontispiecefriday. Born #otd February 7, 1867. This first edition of Farmer Boy, still in circulation (now in durable collegiate binding....) in the @uarklibraries was once… https://t.co/LT64YFCn5K
Do you talk with your hands? You can learn all about the art of manual rhetoric from John Bulwer’s 1644 book entitled “Chironomia” or “The Natural Language of the Hand.” #frontispiecefriday

Today's #FrontispieceFriday is hand-coloured and hilarious! From the first edition of Æsculapian Secrets Revealed by Peter Mac Flogg'em (pseud.), 1813. I especially love the skeleton lounging on a shelf, laughing it up https://t.co/VoCwSecXZ9
#frontispiecefriday This vibrantly hand-colored edition of Blaeu’s Atlas Major dates to 1667. The first of twelve volumes in a set once owned by Pope Clememt XI. Located at the Bell Library. #print #printhistory #rarebooks #handcolored #geography #earlymodern
Sometimes hand-coloured engravings are a delight to behold; sometimes they're... not quite as delightful. Here's an attempt in The Fair Penitent by Nicholas Rowe, one of a sammelband of 5 plays printed 1753-75 #frontispiecefriday https://t.co/DhjdQsGq9j
So many charming details this #FrontispieceFriday, from the 1728 third edition of Richard Bradley's The Country Housewife and Lady's Director: brewers, punters, and - of course - some #badlydrawnanimals #malevolentcows https://t.co/z6lQogHfpP
This chilly October #FrontispieceFriday has us contemplating the proper method for shaving a ghost 👻🧔 anybody have any pointers? #PageFrights
