Grangerizing or “extra-illustrating” a book was a passion of bibliophiles and collectors in England in late 18c and 19c. ✨

Just read (+ blurbed) the galleys of this book! It's 🌟🎉🪴🔥💕!! A thrilling, moving, heartening text, given shape through @dorothyjberry.bsky.social's + @wehere.bsky.social's clever play on bibliographic + bureaucratic form. Such a ✨ mix of protocol + improvisation. Can't wait to see this out in the 🌏

Co-curated by Hamza Walker & Kara Walker. I think it'll be fascinating & timely the-brick.org/monuments
