A lovely thing to end the week on: Thomas Martyn's Aranei : or a natural history of Spiders (London, 1793). Bound by Christian Samuel Kalthhoeber? Perhaps. A striking frontispiece? Definitely.

One of the more interesting bindings to pass across my desk recently. #bookbinding #specialcollections #naturalhistorymuseum #blueskybooks #rarebooks

So many lovely books in @nhmlibraryarchives.bsky.social, so little time to spend with each... #Cataloguing #RareBooks #Provenance #Endpapers
