#OTD in 1896 – Lady Jane Wilde (Speranza), poet, nationalist and the mother of Oscar, dies in London.

Jane Francesca Agnes, later Lady Wilde and mother of Oscar dies in London. She became famous in her own right as a writer and poet under the name of ‘Speranza.’ Speranza was an ardent nationalist in addition to being a staunch feminist. Her most famous poem is probably: ‘The Famine Year’. Weary men, what reap ye?—Golden corn for the stranger. What sow ye?— human corpses that wait for the…

Decorative Sunday: Paste Paper Edition

In 1942, Harvard University Press printed 250 copies of Decorated Book Papers: Being an Account of the Designs and Fashions by the bookbinder, author, and creator and collector of decorative papers, Rosamond Bowditch Loring. Published by the Harvard College Library Department of Printing and Graphic Arts in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the 234 sale copies of the first edition sold out within months, despite the “then considerable price of ten dollars” and the economic stressors of the war. In addition to eight plates reproducing examples of 18th century decorative papers, the first edition includes twenty-five samples tipped in, many of which are from the author’s own extensive collection. 

While Loring collected a variety of a decorative papers, the examples shown here are from the chapter on paste papers, Loring’s area of creative specialization. The sample papers included in this chapter are all Loring’s own work, or that of her student, Veronica Ruzicka, who bound the first edition (it is worthy to note that Ruzicka is the daughter of illustrator, wood engraver, and type designer Rudolph Ruzicka, whose work we have highlighted several times). Ruzicka also contributed an essay when a second edition of the book was finally published by Harvard University Press in 1952, along with Dard Hunter and Walter Muir Whitehall. 

Rosamond Loring (May 2, 1889 – September 17, 1950) studied book binding under Mary Crease Sears at the Sears School of Bookbinding in Boston. Sears, about a decade older than Loring, had had to battle to learn the trade; women were barred from the Bookbinders Union but most commercial binderies were happy to hire women for particular tasks, such as sewing sheets, but maintained a strict separation of roles, preventing employees from learning the whole binding process from start to finish. Eventually, Ms. Sears secured an apprenticeship in France to complete her studies and opened her binding school in Boston shortly after, training several generations of women binders. While studying under Sears, Loring became frustrated with the lack of options for quality endpapers and became determined to make her own, which she sold to other binders at Ms. Sears’s studio. Her first major commercial commission was for the Houghton Mifflin publication of The Antigone of Sophocles, translated by John J. Chapman (Boston, 1930).

Our copy of Decorated Book Papers is a gift of Dick Schoen.

I am only three episodes in and this is already one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Nicola Coughlan is ✨brilliant✨ and I adore everything I have ever seen her in.

This is my introduction to Lydia West and I’m now going to go catch up on everything I’ve missed.

The writing is clever and hilarious. It’s almost fleabag meets derry girls and I’m obsessed.

Highly, highly recommend.

In general, sexual adventures were enjoyed with far greater frequency by Englishmen in India than by their women. Eliza Draper's uncle, to whose house she fled after she left the protection of Sir John Clerke, is a good example. John Whitehall [sic, Whitehill] was an eccentric character whose life was even more irregular than his niece's. Not only did he have at least one, if not more, Indian concubines, he also seems to have had a taste for young men. When his niece first went to live with him, he was involved in a passionate affair with another man, Mr Sulivan, a 'sweet Character of whom Whitehall was inordinately jealous. My Uncle doats on him with all the Extravagances of violent passion,' Eliza Draper wrote to her cousin at home. 'He cannot live without Him. He cannot even bear Him out of his Sight. He cannot like to have him sleep in any apartment but his own.' But there was no moralising about his male lover, nor about the brood of natural children he had produced with his bibis.

A fascinating glimpse of queer relations from 1770s colonial India.

reading Fire & Blood has given me far too much inspiration and now i’m basically outlining the Forrester & Whitehill history from Aegon’s Conquest (and some stuff beforehand)

I literally have the last twelve Forrester lords planned out and the last eleven Whitehill lords

and fun fact, the Dance of Dragons seems to be what really incited their enmity. Before that, they were pretty chill.
