We have just digitized our copy of The First Six Books of Euclid by Oliver Byrne (1847) which uses diagrams of intense color as an aid to learning geometry. Although it sold poorly at the time of publication, it's recognized today as a masterpiece of design and printing.

I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.

You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me or buying a print or sticker on ko-fi here! If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!

Kinda feel like there's some untapped meme/reaction image potential from old horror movie trailers...

Reading The Hobbit to my daughter as she tries to get to sleep with a fever. She’s not yet 4 but insisted and is getting a lot out of it.

Her chipping in occasionally from the cosy tent that she sleeps in with ‘uh oh, Bilbo will not like the scratches on his green door!’ or ‘I would also like to ride a fat pony on a adventure’ or ‘I’m not scared of the goblins because I’m very brave, but let’s just not read that bit, ok?’

A thoroughly nice way to re-read this book.
