Found this #materialtext while going through family papers. A letter addressed to my great grandfather that was partially burned in a plane crash back in 1929.

Take a glimpse into the history of @woodlandsphila: William Hamilton and his niece Mary Hamilton made this manuscript part of their library and decorative arts scheme between 1786 and 1827 #materialtext #materialculture

I'm not one for vandalism, but rather liked the #MaterialText in Saint-Germain-des-Prés: statue of St Anthony as the carrier of all the prayer requests.

#MaterialText bonus round: a man at the @FestivalEV in Saint Malo took me to his attic, where a Dutch printer set up a clandestine press in the 1780s, printing political pamphlets as well as ephemera. He pasted the rafters pasted with examples, inc this ad for a firework display.
