Extra-Illustrations and Annotated Illustrations in Early Modern Books Why did readers write on, or alter, printed images? What does this tell us about the enduring appeal of early modern texts? A new digital exhibition curated by Hannah Yip (University of Manchester), ’Extra-Illustrations and Annotated Illustrations in Early Modern Books’, explores how readers engaged visually with their books. The exhibition includes a range of works from the literary canon to ephemeral pamphlets held today at the John Rylands Library, each uniquely transformed by the people who owned them. These objects ask us to reconsider how books and images were read, repurposed, and reimagined across time.
