December 6, I 963. Dear Miss Albr*: I am taking the liberty in mailing you a set of my new " Picture Inventery " of all the ro*ms and kitchen at Wakefield.I thought that you might like a copy. All the items listed have been gone over and checked for numbers and placement and I believe w ill be found to be correct. I have made notes of any discrepancies as to numbers and descriptions and we will try to c o r r e c t. I carried the clock and barometer to Washington in October. Have not heard from them as yet. I wonder if you could do something for me ? You know th a t th e re is r e a lly l i t t l e known about this place as to its original location and the type of house that was here. I wonder if you know that the same thing is beginning to happen to the present building ? For nearly twenty years we have been telling visitors about the process used in finishing the panel work. F i r s t the wood was washed down w ith a ly e prep­ aration (I saw this done) than it was stained with a mixture of walnut, carrot and others. Now we have to say the only treatment given it was a continuous treatment os linseed oil and beeswax. Another thing is the origin of the wood used both in the flooring and the panel work. Some say it was obtained from old houses in George­ town others say it was found near Richmond. Jones and Conquest of Richmond were the original contractors and I understand that part oi the firm is still doing business in Richmond. I was wondering if some one out of the office might contact these people and maybe find out about these things and maybe other things ? We have a copy of the original specifications here but as you know many were changed as worked progresse While I am letting my hair down there is something else I would like to complain about and that is the new entrance way they have set up here. We have had 1 many complaints about it. You remember the old entrance was over an old road be bed that dated way back and it approached the mansion fran the main gate with the kitchen on its left.This read was here and used when I was a kid and I am no youngster ??? The main complaint is you have to go right by the kitchen door before entering the main house. In all the old houses that I have seen I have never approach ed the main house by having to first go by the kitche door. Have you ? The old entrance was by far the finer of the two. One more thing and than I will quit complaining. This Summer I overheard a congressman telling a friend how the Park Service architects were glori­ fying theirselves with their grand 66 reception c e n te rs . Please do not le t that happen here. The simplicity of this place is the most attractive part of it. Dont you think so ??? I meant to te ll Mr. Mulvany all this when he*^ was here but as usual forgot. By the way he had a wonderful idea about describing diferent pieces in the rooms in our pamphlet. What do you think of it ? Kindest regards. Carl F .Flemer Park Guide. Please forgive me if I seem to be complaining but I have always loved this old place and w anything to improve it. í iixsruLD nouas pum s \ FIRST FLOG» SCAU OF FIRST FLOOR 1/8« • X* ÜOUâS, OUTSIDE DXAiKETER 56*6* X 3U*6W la W loor walls —— 1» 6“ Inside walls —— 1* !■ WAKli 1 U) HOUSE PUNS SHCOtUJ FWOft J j ~ «5 wm* .

  • Melanie Bigold, ' “The Theatre of the Book”: Marginalia and Mise En
    occasional publications no.1 ‘Theatre of the Book’ Marginalia and Mise en Page in the Cardiff Rare Books Restoration Drama Collection Melanie Bigold Centre for Editorial and Intertextual Research, Cardiff University ‘ “Theatre of the Book”: Marginalia and Mise en Page in the Cardiff Rare Books Restoration Drama Collection’ (CEIR Occasional Publications No. 1). Available online <http://cardiffbookhistory.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/bigold.pdf>. © 2013 Melanie Bigold; (editor: Anthony Mandal). The moral rights of the author have been asserted. Originally published in December 2013, by the Centre for Editorial and Intertextual Research, Cardiff University. Typeset in Adobe Minion Pro 11 / 13, at the Centre for Editorial and Intertextual Research, using Adobe InDesign cc; final output rendered with Adobe Acrobat xi Professional. Summary he value-added aspect of both marginalia and provenance has long Tbeen recognized. Ownership marks and autograph annotations from well-known writers or public figures increase the intellectual interest as well as monetary value of a given book. Handwritten keys, pointers, and marginal glosses can help to reveal unique, historical information unavaila- ble in the printed text; information that, in turn, can be used to reconstruct various reading and interpretive experiences of the past. However, increas- ingly scholars such as Alan Westphall have acknowledged that the ‘study of marginalia and annotations’ results in ‘microhistory, producing narratives that are often idiosyncratic’. While twenty to fifty percent of early modern texts have some sort of marking in them, many of these forays in textual alterity are unsystematic and fail to address, as William Sherman notes, ‘the larger patterns that most literary and historical scholars have as their goal’.
