Hi, this is a slow-moving thread of library stamps being present in old books.
To celebrate the start of the #LibraryStampMadness series, let's enjoy this Bull's eye moment of a Vatican library stamp being stamped with full librarian joy into the empty space left over for a miniature. #skystorians

While down a research rabbit hole, I came across this portrait of a 3-year-old Margaret of Austria, created in 1483. It's believed to be the earliest known portrait of her. Love how feisty she looks!

Another absolute gem by Rogier van der Weyden! This painting of an unknown sitter was created in c.1460. Her attire & heavily plucked hairline have led some art historians to suggest that she was a member of the Burgundian court.

Next time you are on EEBO or ECCO and see a thumbprint in the corner, remember it is likely the hands of women digitizing books in London basements during the blitz. They didnt know if the books would survive.
