Treasures

Good guessing on last month’s treasure! We’ve got a nice gift going out to Sophia. The image of Vesuvius is from William Hamilton’s Campi Phlegraei, 1776. Read more about this spectacular collection of plates of the volcano and the surrounding countryside in the latest Mirabile Dictu (newsletter of the Friends of the Library - available in the Rare Book Room or by post - just ask!).

This month’s Treasure comes from a little closer to home:

We obliterated one part of the image, but you may already be familiar with this book. If you think you know the above object, email us your answer along with your full name and mailing address to treasures [at] brynmawr [dot] edu. We will select one correct entry and send that person a special gift.
