Some of the more photogenic books whose images i’ve scanned for https://www.fromoldbooks.org/ - a photo i took back in 2007.

Charles Knight’s two-volume “Old England’ on the bottom is what started it all.

Canon EF-S 17-18mm IS lens, f/5.6 at 1/13th sec, camera EOS 400D (Digital Rebel XTi).

Ex Libris: A Latin mark meaning "From the books of..."

In antiquarian fairy tales, these plates add a personal layer of history. They bridge the gap between the fantastic worlds inside the pages and the real people who once held and cherished them.

Here is a glimpse into some provenance of my collection.

https://www.fromoldbooks.org/Darboy-ImitationOfChrist/pages/310-full-page-christian-border/

A full-page border, or page surround, featuring Christian religious figures, birds, and a crocodile or dragon (which is intended? i am uncertain). It’s from an 1855 edition of Imitation of Christ.

books growing old with me

One of the perks of getting older is that I suddenly own lots of antiquarian books, although I am almost sure they were new just a few years...
