Stephen Girard seems to have been very focused on developing his penmanship skills, which were an important business tool. This book is just one example from his library that documents the businessman's focus on self-improvement.

I’m not sure and I love this #MaterialTexts question, but I suspect it has to do with 19c US history, legality, & marketing.

I think my #MaterialTexts friends will be interested in Ellis’ poetry collection, “Aster of Ceremonies”:
Plant names shown in a magenta like rubrications. Marking time across music, words, a stutter. Asterisks play on the cover around the asters. So much more.
