Auckland Libraries Instagram account
At the beginning of February Auckland Libraries resurrected our Instagram account. It gives us in the Heritage and Research teams a great channel to show off heritage collections and exhibitions that are happening around Auckland Libraries. Some of our contributions from the heritage collections have been photographs, illuminated manuscripts, vintage advertising from the ephemera collection , maps and even some images of incunabula and rare books. The most recent post featuring our heritage collections showed the second to last book to bear the Kelmscott Press imprint: Love is enough: or, The freeing of Pharamond by William Morris. The illustration below was designed by Edward Burne-Jones and engraved on wood by WH Hooper; the borders are by Morris.
