Come to the Anarchist #DIY#publishing meet-up 10th of April where we gather around our book-info store!
We want to:
⭐ Generate a space where we can find reflection materials and editions (#books, #fanzine, #magazines, #pamphlets) that are an extension of the ideas and struggles in which we believe and participate.
⭐ Organize #workshops that actively encourage the do-it-yourself #layout, #printing and #binding.
In this 1671 painting from Hubert van Ravesteijn we see an exclusively designed paper packet leaning against a clay pipe, ready for consumption in a tavern.
In order to sell small units of tobacco, paper was needed: used papers and freshly printed papers. Zoom in:
Selling small amounts of tobacco was a thing, not only in taverns. And so you needed small papers to wrap tobacco into small selling units. Often, as paintings like this one from Pieter van Anraedt of mid seventeenth-century, show, old papers - of #almanacs and #pamphlets - were used for this wrapping up. The still life "Still Life with Earthenware Jug and Clay Pipes" from 1658 shows clearly what kind of paper was reused here, dear #histodons. Let's have a closer look in the next post.
A pamphlet entitled "Unravel the Mysteries of the Stone Circle", produced about 1995, giving details of the circular walk featuring the ancient monuments of the former Gordon District Council area of Aberdeenshire. Features details of stone circles, hillforts and Pictish symbol stones. Scans of the interior are below. #StoneCircles#Megaliths#Hillforts#Picts#Archaeology#Gordon#Aberdeenshire#Pamphlets#StandingStoneSunday
