north american christian material culture archives book hunt is active
no date on this one but has a signature. insta-obtained obviously:
1901 so this one is a full 120 years old (one century.2). it has a lot of foxing, thats this weird paper staining. some people say it can spread to other books but some people say it actually doesnt (anyone know?), might obtain:
saw this last time i was here. not very old but its pretty cool:
more pics of that book. its pretty cool:
lol. this ones a little expensive for something not directly related to my operation so not going to get it but it is certainly... unique. 1905. check out the pics in the next post.
theres a full on fold out map in here (sorry for the unideal pics, im obviously in a weird place):
this is pretty cool. im working with a guy on my patreon on a project and this is one of the source books he sent me digitally. not sure if it’s rare or not but cool to see in person. its like 400 pages with a ton of illustrations:
was just thinking about this guy and talking about him on the last episode of the painting show. normally im scoping for old books but gonna obtain this as well. this is an excellent run so far
1920. 100 years old. proto ‘hell house’ material. this is exactly what im hunting for. gonna post two pages in the next tweet
yes
these last two arent so old, so, now we’ve kind of left the material archives archive-ation project and segued into [personal collection], this is from 1950 and has a lot of cool woodcut style images in it. it was one dollar:
last up, this is new (was cheap tho), thought i should have one of these in the house since im having a kid + because my wife is an anglophile (aka she is white), although interestingly this is the episcopal version. anyone with book learning know if / how that makes it different
thats it for today. time wise pound for pound this was an excellent run. thanks for tuning in. heres a random previous episode that i think itself links to another thread. the archive is now quite large and im working on getting some out of copyright stuff up on my site.
