New Acquisition:
We have an exciting new addition to Special Collections: Uncut pages from 1797!
This is an example of sheets of a book as they came off the printing press without ever being folded or cut. The way a compositor lays out the pages of the book can be difficult to visualize. This will become an important tool for our classroom for continuing to teach and demonstrate historic printing processes.
