After a few great articles in the "Golden Compass" about female printers/publishers at the #Plantin Press, I searched in my collection for examples. I didn't know I had so many 😱.
I put them together on my website: sites.google.com/view/oldpape...

Just spotted not one but three different Jean Gouault watermarks in my 1583 Plantin Bible 📖👀
JGOVAULT, JGOVAVLT, and JEHAN GOVAVLT… it’s like Pokémon cards for early modern paper nerds.
Gotta catch ’em all 🧐🧵 🔎🕵️

Found in a book printed by Plantin (1583): a capital Lambda ("Λ") used as a V! The woodblock was made by Antoni van Leest in 1573. I love these little discoveries!

I am always happy when I see a printers mark that is signed 🙂. In this case the woodcut is made by Geeraard Jansen van Kampen in 1578. Found in IVSTI LIPSI AD LIBROS HISTORIARVM NOTÆ.
@zannavanloon.bsky.social Did you use this printer mark for The Plantin Press Online?

Beautiful frontispiece designed by PP Rubens and engraved by Cornelius Galle ( #Antwerp 1630).
This example is from Titles and Portraits (Max Rooses - 1877).

New in my collection: Title pages and portraits, cut after P. P. Rubens. Published by Museum Plantin Moretus and written by conservator Max #Rooses in 1877. All the engravings were printed with the original copper plates!

Does anyone know more about altar cards (tabellae secretarum) printed by the Plantin Press in Antwerp?
I’m researching a framed Tridentine set with the imprint Antverpiæ, ex Architypographia Plantiniana, likely ca. 1750-1800(?).
No succes on their website.

Discovered an intriguing 19th-century French clipping warning of the perils of drunkenness, tucked inside a 1707 #Plantin Press breviary printed by Anna Maria de Neuf, widow of Balthasar Moretus. A fascinating glimpse of moral messaging preserved in an unlikely place. #BookHistory
Printed title page of "Q. Horatius Flaccus, ex antiquissimis undecim lib. m.s. et schedis aliquot emendatus"
Blank flyleaf with manuscript annotation in elongated script: "Orrery, Nov.br 12. 1750. Leicester Fields. £ 2"
A #NewAcq to start the day: This edition of Horace, printed by Christophe #Plantin in 1578 was once owned by the Anglo-Irish author John Boyle, 5th Earl of Orrery (1707-1762). He bought it for £2 on November 2nd, 1750 in Leicester Fields (now Leicester Square, London)
(now Antwerp, EHC 909809)
Feeling privileged to leaf through a truly beautiful book from my collection. Here’s a Psalter printed in Antwerp by the #Plantin Press in 1713 — a testament to early modern craftsmanship. ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful large (84x84mm) initial found in a Psalterium Romanum (Plantin 1713). The woodblock was designed by Pieter v.d. Borcht and executed by Antoni v. Leest (1578) #bookhistory #plantin #liturgy
Engraving by Adriaen Collaert showing the Crucifixion of Christ between two thieves, surrounded by smaller scenes of the Passion. Latin inscriptions and symbolic figures frame the composition. From a 1634 book printed by the Plantin Press in Antwerp.
On #GoodFriday, a print by Adriaen Collaert (c. 1600), from a 1634 book printed by the Plantin Press in Antwerp.
Crucifixorum et Cruciferorum — “Of the crucified and the cross-bearers.”
Devotion engraved in copper. #BookHistory #Plantin #Passion
Just got this 1637 Antwerp book: Sacrum Sanctuarium Crucis et Patientiae.
Basically 300 pages of “who got crucified and how” — with detailed engravings.
Baroque self-help for when you’re having a really bad day.
Look at the very a-typical title page ! 😍

Two centuries of #Plantin liturgical printing: my 1721 and 1837 editions of the Missae Defunctorum, both from the Officina Plantiniana in Antwerp. From velvet to gilt leather, from Purgatory (after Rubens) to the Last Supper—same purpose, evolving aesthetics. #RareBooks #BookHistory
Does anyone recognize or decipher the bottom two Dutch handwritten lines here that are not a part of the song? The last word might read “Hofkens,” possibly a name or a reference to a beguinage. Any help identifying the script would be greatly appreciated! #paleography #plantin #bookhistory
The woodcuts by Jan Boon, published by A.A.M. Stols (1930), perfectly capture the timeless atmosphere of the Plantin-Moretus Museum. With their striking detail and balance of light and shadow, they transport me straight into the heart of this historic printing house.
