Detail from an 18th-century satirical print with 3 people (Louis 16 on Marie Antoinette's shoulders, and she on Edmund Burke's) and the words The Lewis Walpole Library Fellowships & Travel Grants in Eighteenth-Century Studies.

Seen today at @lewiswalpolelib.bsky.social: a copy of Cavendish's 1668 /Plays/ with original proofers' marks from the print house still visible on one sheet! [I checked the scanned version on EEBO, and every change marked here had been made in that copy. Here we see the compositors' first draft!]

An image of a page in a play from a seventeenth-century book; the header says /The Female Wits/ and the margins are filled with several original proofers' marks changing mistaken punctuation and spelling, as well as correcting spacing errors.

a close up of the first image, showing the world ill-favoured ly with a space before the ly; proofers' marks show that the space should be closed up, and a period added after the word.

Appropriately for the season, Ronald Paulson told me at an ASECS dinner (or a similar event - it was a long while ago) that he had seen the ghost of Hogarth’s pug in the cellars of Burlington House 👻 🐶

Detail from plate 4 of Harlot's Progress. A scene in Bridewell Prison with the harlot and other prisoners shown beating hemp, the warder standing over her, prodding her. They stand under a sign that reads "Better to work than stand thus."
