And that's it! Sent off the new training set and hopefully improve the issues I have encountered!
I will also use this model for the 1728 print. It's a different printing press, but overall, the two prints are very much alike, and so is the #Fraktur type they use. #Transkribus #EthicaComplementoria #HTR #EarlyModern #PrintHistory
#fraktur #Transkribus #ethicacomplementoria #htr #earlymodern #printhistory
This phenomenon is highlighted because the #HTR model I've been training to recognize the text had too few characters in cursive in the training set. So they get misread, and I have to correct them, thus becoming hyperaware of these differences in the typesetting.
When I'm done, I will reconstruct the sheets and printing order to look at the distribution of spelling and other errors and typographical conventions. Exciting! #BookHistory #PrintHistory #AnalyticBibliography

In the '70s and '80s, if you wanted to set type for yourself, you had to resort to presstype, transfer lettering, Letraset – there were a bunch of names and a bunch of brands, of which Letraset was the highest quality. I think this stuff cost about $8 a sheet back then, when I was making about $2 an hour, so it was a real indulgence, and once I chose a sheet, it got used for any project I needed type for.

James Joyce wrote as much as a third of Ulysses at the *proof stage*…forcing the [repeated] resetting of the type of nearly every page. #patrickhastings #JamesJoyce #printhistory #ulysses

A little print history. John Peters, former RAF pilot, was a designer at Cambridge University Press post war. He designed several fonts inc. Castella for Monotype. He founded The Vine Press in Hilton which handset and printed short-run books on a Cope and Sherwin press. Here's a link to my MA dissertation on his work and life https://hellolovely.design/johnpeters

My day job is at a #museum and I've been looking at a lot of Daumier #prints lately and I'd like everyone to know that in the early- to mid- #19thcentury in France there was a trend where cartoonists would draw a pear to represent the king to flout censorship laws, please enjoy this blog I found explaining the trend: https://henripeyrefi.ws.gc.cuny.edu/2016/09/23/perilous-pears-pickled-please-philipon-and-louis-philippe-i-by-anna-soo-hoo/

The crude but hilarious and charming woodcuts in this spelling book are by English artist Joseph Crawhall II.
This little gem from 1884 (first edition) is a great example of the chap book revival led by Crawhall and The Leadenhall Press.
I love the silliness and artistic freedom of this.
