It’s #TypeTuesday again! We’re featuring another image from our current exhibit, Designed, Displayed, & Discarded: Ephemeral Printing in Alton, Illinois, 1835-1855. This advertisement for daguerreotypes includes printed hands, oftentimes called an index or a manicule, which point to and emphasize certain parts of the text. Hand-written manicules gained popularity around the Renaissance, when readers would draw hands pointing to parts of the text they wanted to highlight. Today, the index symbol is considered a standard typographical feature. Come see these manicules, currently on display at the RBML until May 31, 2018. 

#TBT: a Lloyd Reynolds datebook, written almost entirely in calligraphy! #Repost @reedspecialcollections ・・・ Lloyd Reynolds was an English, Creative writing, and Art instructor at Reed from 1929-1969. Reynolds learned calligraphy through personal research, and through his informal calligraphy classes influenced generations of Reed students, faculty and graphic artists. This datebook (all in calligraphy!) is one of many of Reynolds’s we have in the archives. #typetuesday #typography #reedspecialcollections #reedlibrary #lovereed #iglibraries #librariesofinstagram
