Of particular interest is a collection and archive (3 boxes) related to the Boston scholar-printer Daniel Berkeley Updike, of the Merrymount Press, which will be delivered to the library soon; also a series of historical fiction for juveniles, and another batch of 19th century American almanacs for our growing collection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/watkinson\/files\/2016\/01\/papermania2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2250\" src=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/watkinson\/files\/2016\/01\/papermania2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"papermania2\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/watkinson\/files\/2016\/01\/papermania2-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/watkinson\/files\/2016\/01\/papermania2.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the items I wanted to buy but didn&#8217;t (we&#8217;ll see!) was a large broadside of recipes, printed in Hartford and hand-colored:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/watkinson\/files\/2016\/01\/papermania3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2251\" src=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/watkinson\/files\/2016\/01\/papermania3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"papermania3\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/watkinson\/files\/2016\/01\/papermania3-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/watkinson\/files\/2016\/01\/papermania3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/watkinson\/files\/2016\/01\/papermania3.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning a student and I visited Papermania in downtown Hartford&#8211;I&#8217;ve been meaning to go for years, and I definitely am glad I went.
