@CaTPoP20@elisa_marazzi@UmeaUniversity I always wondered why roosters were used on spelling-books’ front pages. Has something to do with the awakening of a widespread literacy?
The exhibit title could translate as ‘Growing up with prints’ so why not start with ABCs? Did you know that roosters were apparently great primary teachers??? This is the back cover of a Swedish primer printed in Stockholm in 1838 preserved @UmeaUniversity library
Now that many UK unis are switching to online, please advise your students not to go around the country visiting families. This would spread the virus enormously and potentially among people at higher risk! Learned this from Italy #StayAtHome
