@BooksOnGaming @JosephHone_ @ODSECS1 That’s great - hope it was reasonably straightforward!

The Fleuron website was down over the holidays. Apologies to those who've been trying to use it. Pleased to say we're back online now.

@ArmoredHeavy Glad you’re enjoying it!

Shout out to @Fleuronweb for the unparalleled, mind boggling number of printer's ornaments WITH provenance! I need my friends to write some more fiction set in the 18th century so I can make better use of these images in the books. fleuron.lib.cam.ac.uk/index

ANOTHER LIE BY LYONS PRINTERS! @Fleuronweb to the rescue!

Dominique Varry from #ENSSIB, Lyon, giving a fascinating talk on reconstructing the geography of the print community of the 18th century, to the Book & Print Initiative. Convents were secret warehouses for counterfeit & prohibited books!

@Ajprescott Fantastic!

@SKLafon1 Wow, interesting! I’m at the Huntington at the moment too. Are you working on fleurons in particular or just good at spotting them?

@SKLafon1 Fantastic! Looks like someone was keeping track of individual pieces. I wonder why...
