Marbled Monday
Today we bring you two official documents from King Charles III of Spain from 1767—the first was published April 4 and the second on July 5. These documents pertain to the settlement of six thousand Catholic Flemish and German settlers in Sierra Morena. Both are certified by Don Ignacio Esteban de Higareda, advisor to the king. Both documents were printed in the Office of Don Antonio Sanz, official printer of the king and his counsel.
The marbling is one of my favorites that I’ve seen—a fantasy pattern in purple, red, and cream. Something particularly interesting (to me, anyway!) is the evidence of light damage on the marbling, especially on the back of the first book shown here (the third image). You can see that the top of the book has been bleached quite light, while the left side has been bleached slightly less and the right side is still its original color. From this we can tell something about how the book has been stored—there was most likely a smaller book or bookend in front of it near a window or other light source for quite some time, causing the top to bleach while the bottom stayed bright! At some point, an even smaller book blocked just the bottom right side, causing the left side to bleach a bit as well. These are not the original bindings for these documents (our best guess is that these are 20th century bindings) and evidence of light damage can be seen on all sides of the covers shown here.
All of our books here in Special Collections are kept in darkened spaces for the most part—we only turn the lights on when a person is in the stacks and needs to see! This helps prevent light damage like you see here. If you have special books you want to keep looking nice, we recommend keeping them in the dark!

One of the main teachers of the Istrian dynasty.
Young, handsome, smart - all his main features. A month is enough for him to make people obey his faith.

the only succession drama i care about is the case of whether reichsgraf friedrich karl von pückler-limpurg could rightfully inherit his daughter's estate
#why does this have me GRIPPED#he keeps arguing about it!!! i'm like 90% sure he spent over 20 years trying to prove it??????#at least. the first monograph on the subject is from 1767 and the most recent one from 1792#and he was sending letters about it in 1793#trying to get legal scholars to either speak out in his favour or at least not speak against him#bestie......#truly the rich messy youtuber drama of the eighteenth century#historical shenanigans#she speaks
