I am thinking of migrating to another server. Where should I go to with my #earlymodern #histodons content and my #digitalhistory and #bookhistory approaches? #fediverse

This goes out to you working all the manuscripts you promised for the approaching 2024 deadlines: Look at the annoyed and bored face of Jerome while writing, and enjoy this fancy book wheel.

Bonus: his lion does not approve you working the holidays' shift.

@SimonKidd1@mstdn.science yes, it does. But maybe our lab equipment is designed as old beer glasses?

In this detail of the painting you see even clearer that this wrapping paper was once a paper letter or a manuscript page. The lines of words written are visible here. #bookhistory 6/

But there is more to this as paintings like this one from Frans van Mieris show. Here, the paper packets for tobacco are in a more paperish environment: next to the tobacco wrapped in an old paper sheet are playing cards - a printed paper product, in this case very likely also hand colored. Bonus: long clay pipes lying on the table, and a very stylish beer drinking glass. (When did we stop making such beer glasses?). Let's zoom in further and see what kind of paper was used. 5/

The closer look clearly indicates: this is a used paper, maybe an old letter, maybe a page from a printed textbook? You can see the words on the paper, and this detail wasn't by chance included by the painter. #bookhistory knows: paper was reused for many purposes. And tobacco wrapping was one of them. Future research in the field will hopefully address: who sold the used paper from the bookish worlds to the alehouse owners and tobacco traders - and pepper sellers too? 4/

It is well known that paper was used in #earlymodern Europe mainly for writing, printing - and wrapping purposes. In this regard, wrapping tobacco was part of the most typical paper usages and re-usages. Have a look: https://brill.com/display/book/edcoll/9789004424005/BP000010.xml The painting offers a scene of thirst (look at the #beer!) and smoke, likely in a tavern or coffeehouse, where small "sealed" quantities of tobacco were sold. And these papers were used papers! Zoom in, see the next post, and enjoy. 3/

Selling small amounts of tobacco was a thing, not only in taverns. And so you needed small papers to wrap tobacco into small selling units. Often, as paintings like this one from Pieter van Anraedt of mid seventeenth-century, show, old papers - of #almanacs and #pamphlets - were used for this wrapping up. The still life "Still Life with Earthenware Jug and Clay Pipes" from 1658 shows clearly what kind of paper was reused here, dear #histodons. Let's have a closer look in the next post. 2/

#Tobacco and #Paper share a common past. In #EarlyModernEurope, a period called a paper age, tobacco had its connections to the worlds of paper (and print). Attention, friends of #smoking, #history and PaperHistory. @histodons@a.gup.pe

In this 1671 painting from Hubert van Ravesteijn we see an exclusively designed paper packet leaning against a clay pipe, ready for consumption in a tavern.

In order to sell small units of tobacco, paper was needed: used papers and freshly printed papers. Zoom in:

How to illustrate natural disasters in early modern broadsides?

After the enormous landslide of 1618 in #Piuro (then a city within the Three Leagues, Raetia) that wiped out the city and killed thousands, a Zurich based printer came up with this idea: using a liftable flap. The flap offers a before and after scenario; a reading engagement with the catastrophe. The printed flap is the mudslide. #bookhistory #histodons #naturaldisaster

A while ago, I asked around at the bird site, looking for paper crown templates from early modern printers or publishers hiding somewhere in our archives and libraries. And Vanessa Selbach came to the rescue presenting this gem of #paperhistory: a surviving early modern printed paper crown from the BNF (Rc-36 (f)-Fol). https://twitter.com/SelbachVanessa1/status/1566770760714166273?s=20&t=t_Bj6JhIkHF6qoYVinQLCw #histodons #bookhistory #earlymodons 3/4

History knows that paper crowns were a printed product that usually derived from a folded paper sheet. The printers of around 1600 might have been inspired from Epiphany cakes which were back then often decorated with a paper crown on the top. However, printed paper crowns were a thing and came form the printing presses that produced broadsides for example. And these small prints were sold by mobile sellers all over Europe. Like this boy. #histodons #bookhistory 2/4

A widely used #Christmas time special of the past in Europe was to buy a paper crown, dear #histodons and #paperhistory and experts.

A paper crown? Yes, a printed paper crown. And the tiny street seller highlighted in this painting from Joos de Momper the Younger, a Flemish painter active in Antwerp between the late 16th century and the early 17th century, is selling them.

Paper crowns were seasonal extras of the printing industries, dear #bookhistory. Follow this thread along for more.
