This manuscript was broken by biblioclast Otto Ege and was included in his Fifty Original Leaves from Medieval Manuscripts, Western Europe, XII-XVI Century (c. 1950). It is not known if this particular leaf is from a copy of Original Leaves that was broken and sold leaf-by-leaf (an ironic possibility) or if it is a leaf from the manuscript that was never included in a copy of Original Leaves. https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/e4555c47523f20d6bca59a7618f1ca6f.jpg 89aca363fe8417af8b8fb930142faf30 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Fish Couture Description An account of the resource In cultures around the world, fish play an integral part in daily life as food, objects of study and recreational pursuit, and as characters in stories and parables. Over the last several years, I have built the portion of my collection that documents the social history of fish, including ways that lay people interact with fish in a non-technical way. This print by George Spratt illustrates a woman whose body and clothing comprise different species of fish and other aquatic organisms.

Title A name given to the resource A Custom Dust Jacket Description An account of the resource Children’s books are a fascinating genre to collect, as these books were often heavily used and thus show evidence of how previous owners cared for their books. Elsje bij de Visschen [1892] was fitted with a custom dust jacket bearing an inscription in Dutch dated 1906. Translated into English the inscription reads, “Johhanna Louws / Age 9 years old, born the 15th of June 1896 in Zoutelande, I received this picture book the 6th of February 1906.” The presence of this jacket demonstrates that Johhanna, and all subsequent owners, were keen to keep this lovely little book in fine condition.

Title A name given to the resource Elsje Becomes a Fish Description An account of the resource I enjoy adding these sorts of books to the social history portion of my collection. Many nineteenth-century children’s stories feature fish (or children who transform into fish) that stray from the safety of their homes and parents. Some children, like our Elsje, are able to return home safely after their ill-advised adventures, but others are not so lucky… Cautionary tales such as these were common in the nineteenth century.

Title A name given to the resource A Colourful Cod Description An account of the resource Shaw’s General Zoology was a popular natural history compendium published in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. The “Fishes” volumes of Shaw’s Zoology are often found on the market today; however, this is the first (and only!) copy I have seen where all 189 engravings have been professionally hand coloured.
