“I was amazed and delighted by this doll’s house. Based on designs by Gerrit Rietveld, one of the great early twentieth-century designers, it re-creates a house, probably in the Netherlands, filled with representative furniture also designed by Rietveld. We could not pass up the opportunity to acquire this great object for our collection.”

Now presenting on this #MiniatureMonday: a truly wonderful collection of miniature ‘zines, written and illustrated by three young brothers in South Philadelphia in the 1850s. The tiniest are six 4x5 centimeter volumes titled “The Fair,” illustrating the boys’ visits to the Franklin Institute’s Exhibition of American Manufactures, an annual event in Philadelphia that displayed new inventions and goods. Issues of “The Fair” span from 1850 to 1853.
The Whiteman brothers made their illustrations to mirror the objects and media they saw on display at the exhibition. The delightful bird drawing you see in the bottom photo was likely drawn with India inks sold at the Franklin, and the tiny framed dog in the top photo is actually a very small woodblock print!
The first issue is up in our Digital Library, here.
From the Whiteman Family papers [0712], Box 7.

Pages from a 1710 school ledger by Philadelphian Grace Hoopes. Her penmanship and flourishes are remarkable! And check out that almost-too-quaint-to-be-true calculation of how many barley corns are in a mile. The book is also a great example of paper corrosion caused by unstable iron gall ink, as you can clearly see in the first image (the whole book looks pretty water-stained too).
From the HSP schoolbook collection [1066].

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. —1 Peter 5:8 Ephesians 6:10-18 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
