#OurFlagMeansBooks

a man with a beard is holding a book next to another man who is laughing and saying yeah that 's Alt: Gif of Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet, with Bonnet being reprimanded for replacing the books with ones he's already read. Blackbeard, customarily dour in black leather, takes a book from the ever-excited Stede, wearing blue with a lacy cravat and cuffs, and says "Yeah, that's... That's not how looting works, mate."

Our Flag Means Books! ☠️📚🏴‍☠️

Wrote a little thing about books and pirates, popular culture, love, and nerding out in the library...

Marbled paper on the outside and marbled fore edge ..

Marbled endpapers.

More marbled top edges...

Calm Down, Mr. Wavy Blade!

hello all! moving more ofmd-coded rare books over from the bad place for you. drkarrschmidt.bsky.social, we need to get back on this! today, a 17th-century volume of english law stede could feasibly have had on board…but looks like lucius got ahold of it! 📖🍆 #ofmd #ourflagmeansbooks

good morning, crew! here’s more OFMD-coded rare books & manuscripts, 🦋 edition. i catalogued this lovely c.1300 fragment before s2 was a thing, but now when i look at that creature’s sweet little face, all i can see is catboy ed gazing longingly up at his captain. #ofmd #ourflagmeansbooks

An Embroidered Pirate Library?

For me?! 🥰🏴‍☠️ With the falling books, fireplace, weaponized whale, and even the plant that pulled the room together?!

Double harpy mezzotint with explanation of their voraciousness. The male has a cow encircled in his tail; both have pug snacks as well.

Hot Harpy Couples are in your area!*

They only consume 1 Cow, 3 Pigs... Per NIGHT? Mezzotint from #NewberryLibrary.

*The ca. 1784 Santa Fé, Chile area, that is.
