Another mystery #periodical people!
Here's a woodcuts on The illustrated title page for the 1854 Keepsake. The name on the left is the artist and usually the name of the engraver is on the right. Here's my question: Dalziel = wood engraver?!! Or is this grass?

Odd finding in Keepsake 1852: at conclusion of the literary texts are I think the illuminated paper front and back boards intended for rebinding this volume - pristine. I've never seen this before 🤯 has anyone ever seen this?

What a bummer -- apparently, when I bought vols from rare book dealers, I didn't check the vols closely enough when they arrived (this is over the past 35 yrs).
My 1828 *Friendship's Offering* is beautifully bound but missing ALL of the engravings. It's an extremely rare vol too 😥

While attempting to buy winter boots, I am reminded of the weirdest job search ever. Buckle up: it’s a wild ride. It was my last year of grad school, and I had an interview for what I thought was my dream job. It was an open rank search where they were hoping to hire two people. +

Has anyone used VFlat (mobile app) and then transferred those files to @tropy.bsky.social on a Mac?
Think I can export individual files to my Mac from VFlat (but not the folders I so lovingly set up for each volume)
VFlat does very fast text recognition of photos (better than Adobe).
