How odd to bump into #Blake's life mask at the National Portrait Gallery on the day he died

Thank you, @drbibliomane.bsky.social: I did not know about Augustin Daly's extra-illustrated books at Harvard. I must make sure to come and see them next time I am in Boston, I hope soon.

Not medieval or Renaissance, but Gillian Russell's _The Ephemeral Eighteenth Century_ is amazing. Or you could pre-order the new book by @luisacale.bsky.social , _The Book Unbound: Material Cultures of Reading and Collecting_, which will soon be knocking all our socks off.
