Daniel BellingradtI see text emoji's in this ornament from an eighteenth century news print. #textemoji #newshistory
Back to our messenger and his context. And here, #bookhistory meets #newshistory. Stay with me. This detail is rich.
Of course, the running woodblock derives from the Nuremberg-based "Wochentliche Ordinari Post-Zeitung". #newshistory
Daniel Bellingradt... yackety-yak, blah-blah, have you heard the news yet? #NewsHistory
Gossiping is both an art and an annoying practice. In #earlymodern Europe, a gossipmonger would often be depicted as a person with three mouths. Like these three fellas that made it on a title page of a pamphlet in 1605, a Turk, a Hungarian, and a German. #histodons #gossip #newshistory
This #earlymodern courier carrying a paper letter, printed as an emblem around 1700 in Nuremberg, Germany, sends you a message too: Today, send a message to a friend. Because a letter is a sign of friendship (in Latin: a Signum Amicitae).

Apropos #Medienkompetenz: Im Jahr 1620 mahnt ein Zeitungsherausgeber, dass nicht alles, was als Nachrichten herauskomme, stimme. Es sei nur glaubwürdigen Leuten und Quellen zu vertrauen - nicht aber "einem jeden Privathumoristen".
Mehr dazu in meinem neuen Buch (2025).

Run, early modern postal horse with your messenger sitting on top blowing the post horn, run. @histodons
You see a video of the identical printed image used in the 1670s on the title page of the Nuremberg “Wochentliche Ordinari Post-Zeitung”. Re-used Woodblock, here we go. #bookhistory

For lovers of violins: I wrote an article about a very, very big violin, its sounds, and dancing soldiers. All this and more was on a #broadside published in 1632, in the middle of the #ThirtyYearsWar. The topic? Portraying the news business as a generally untrustworthy industry producing false and #fakenews. For #NewsHistory, #BookHistory and #earlymodern #MediaHistory. Soon open access, stay tuned for more news. #histodons
