The blooming wisteria vine at the Huntington Library feels a bit like a dream. #HuntingtonLibrary #wisteria

#blankbooks = varied content. Birmingham (PA) surveyor George Hannum (d.1854) was a man with a plan, though little is known about him. This floppy folio (435x280x10mm) is awkward to handle and, to be honest, my interest in surveying is minimal (at best). But my, aren’t the pictures pretty?

This 1635 #blankbookbinding is plain; the satin gowns, silk stockings, and pearl-studded waistcoats of 14yo Lady Jane Cavendish – poet, playwright, great-granddaughter of Bess of Hardwicke – were not. As Lady Cheyne, her plate and jewels weren’t too shabby either. (#HuntingtonLibrary MS EL 11143) #Blankbooks #17thCentury #SocialHistory #BookHistory #bookbinding

Today's #bbtd (blankbook of the day) is the Countess of Bridgewater’s Meditations […], a 1620s combo of gold tooling, gauffered edges, & clasps. Lovely. (https://catalog.huntington.org/record=b1781648) #ForeEdgeFriday #BlankbookBinding #HuntingtonLibrary
