We recently purchased an artist's book entitled A Line by Suyeon Kim. A Line tells the story of a blind fisherman and his dog through linocut and woodcut illustrations, using very few words. The images form a continuous strip of narrative, over sixteen feet long, which is accordion folded into the binding. Special Collections has copy number 83, signed by the artist.

Leigh Hunt was a poet, journalist, and essayist who was influential among the Romantic poets, including Byron, Keats, and Shelley. Special Collections has a small collection of Leigh Hunt's correspondence dating 1823-1959, with the bulk of the material falling between 1831 and 1861. The collection contains letters to and from various correspondents, including Leigh Hunt's oldest son, Thornton. A large portion of the correspondence consists of transcribed letters, for which the originals are lacking.
These materials are in the process of being digitized. We're sharing a few scans below; look for the rest in the MU Digital Library soon.

This month's final post in our series celebrating African-American artists and writers brings together two greats of the Harlem Renaissance: James Weldon Johnson and Aaron Douglas. Johnson was multi-talented: an educator, writer, attorney and musician, he was the author of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," a leader of the NAACP, and the first African-American professor at New York University. God's Trombones is considered one of his most important works. Douglas was one of the leading artists of the Harlem Renaissance. He developed a distinctive style that blended modernism with African influences and was highly influential in the development of later African-American artists.

The Fragmenta Manuscripta collection is again the source of this week's feature. It's a fragment from a fifteenth-century gradual in Latin, possibly from England. Note the square musical notation on a four-line staff. The staff here agree that we particularly like the face in profile added to the large initial. More information at the Digital Scriptorium.
