MICROSCOPIC RECREATIONS

Recently landed: Microscopic Recreations

Since spending time in the collections of the Baillieu Library, University of Melbourne, and the State Library Victoria (more on which, to follow) looking at luminous entomological studies from near and far, and behatted snails in the marginalia of medieval manuscripts, it came as no surprise that our The Earth is Us contribution of two collages, Here’s something that might have happened I and II, and accompanying narrative, With a wingspan of a couple of books, a couple of centuries, should spring forth sporting a pair of wings of its own.

The Earth is Us is a collaborative webzine for Earth Day coming up on Tuesday 22nd of April 2025 and organised by Jean McEwan.

Continuing reading on Marginalia.

With enormous thanks to Susan Millard, Curator of Rare Books, at The University of Melbourne, for shepherding us through the treasure within the Baillieu library, and setting our minds a-spin, and hearts suitably a-flutter.
