its actually easy to de-enshittify your digital experience all you need to do is install this browser extension and this browser extension and this browser extension and input this custom script into the advanced box and go into your system settings and reconfigure all these options you didnt know existed and change your entire workflow and switch to this alternative operating system and this alternative web browser and this alternative chat client and this alternative word processor and this alternative- sorry that one turned out to be malware delete that one okay now double check your task manager for unwanted background processes and element block these ads and invest in a good VPN and append all your searches with AI blocking keywords and wait a few years until everything you just did becomes shitty too so you can do it all over again okay kitten. its literally that easy.

A Moser New Year’s Eve

We close out 2022 with these somber wood-engraved landscapes separated by images of icebergs by noted wood engraver, book designer, and fine-press publisher Barry Moser from his 1983 Pennyroyal Press edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus, printed by master printer Harold McGrath in a limited edition of 350 copies. The original edition, of course, was published in London in 1818, and Moser’s production was based on a copy of that edition from Special Collections at the Smith College Library.

With its somber winter imagery and our own penchant for wood engravings (18% of our posts for 2022 have wood engravings), we thought this was an appropriate way to ring out the old and ring in the new, as our graduate intern Olivia is currently working on a major exhibition of Barry Moser’s work to open in February 2023. Our copy of the Pennyroyal Frankenstein is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.

We wish you all a safe and festive passage into the New Year!
