I recently pulled a collection of five books for a researcher visiting the JMRBR, all in Chinese, all written by Benjamin Hobson in the 1850s. The incredible thing about these texts is that they are the first introduction of western medicinal texts to China! This book, Fu Ying Xin Shuo, (very loosely I found that fu ying= mother and baby, xin=new, shuo=to say or explain) is all about childbirth, obstetrics, and postnatal care. The books are all about the same dimensions and incredibly light, printed on featherweight paper and bound in the Japanese stab-binding method. Beautifully printed and bound and truly rewarding to hold and handle.

This is a first for me. Had a few hiccups but managed to fix them. Can't help but want to get the rest if the gang together. #rung #transformersmtmte #customfigures #firsttimeforeverything https://www.instagram.com/p/Byk8Qy1gOUNvVPFOa-ckYlWYKWq94B7uxKk2HI0/?igshid=1ofwz6kfk1jdu

I know I don’t say this very often, but I think I’m too tall for this... 😯 #firsttimeforeverything #fawkesthecorgi #corgisofinstagram #corgi #pembrokewelshcorgi #pnwcorgi #instacorgi (at Grassa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFrH2SgVY4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=66xvprvvkc8y

1.2.16 @ashaetch in the studio. much like the photo of jacs yesterday there was a bit of hanging and talking involved with what we ended up shooting. photos like yesterday’s post and today’s really reaffirm that my eye has changed so much since i shot either of the photos. just looking at the pictures from the day and i see what i had selected to share back then versus what i would and did select right now today. also yeah it’s halloween, i hope you enjoy whatever it is you decide to get into celebrate the day and maybe have some fun if that’s your thing. dressing up being someone or something else for a bit escape the tragedy and pain going on out there. put on too much make up wear a wig hide yourself in clothes that aren’t yours typically. fuck what anyone out there might think and just be you how ever that is and enjoy what little freedoms we have left. #makeportraits #amongflowers #easiersaidthandone #isthismyartiststatement #firsttimeforeverything (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/myphotographslie/p/BpmqB8RlLh9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qspa1yt1cdlm
