erikkwakkel: Medieval advertisement for a bookstore In medieval times, books were not just made by monks. By the thirteenth century commercial scribes had become the go-to people for a book. To attract clients, the professionals running these “bookstores” made advertisement sheets, like this one. They were usually put on display outside the shop’s entrance: clients looked at the samples and choose a letter type for the book they were about to order. This one is from the shop of Herman Strepel in Münster, Germany, and dates from c. 1447. Herman did an excellent marketing job because he wrote the names of the letter types in gold next to the samples. Pic: The Hague, Koninklijke Biblliotheek, 76 D 45.

Medieval advertisement for a bookstore

In medieval times, books were not just made by monks. By the thirteenth century commercial scribes had become the go-to people for a book. To attract clients, the professionals running these “bookstores” made advertisement sheets, like this one. They were usually put on display outside the shop’s entrance: clients looked at the samples and choose a letter type for the book they were about to order. This one is from the shop of Herman Strepel in Münster, Germany, and dates from c. 1447. Herman did an excellent marketing job because he wrote the names of the letter types in gold next to the samples.

Reblog this if you’ve ever felt sad. If you’ve ever received a message that made you break down. If you’ve ever listened to a song that made you break down. If you’ve ever cried yourself to sleep. If you’ve ever been ignored by the person you love. If you’ve watched the person you love, love someone else. If you’ve ever harmed yourself, thrown up your meal, or starved yourself. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and hated what you saw. If you’ve lost all hope. If you’ve attempted to kill yourself. Reblog this if you’ve felt so alone and cold. Reblog this if you’ve ever thought you were worthless, disgusting, pathetic. I will send a message to every single person who reblogs this. No matter how many notes this gets. Because you are not alone. You are loved and people do care about you. So reblog this, you’ll get your message. I promise you.
