“Stamped fly”
Posted in Archives and Special Collections on April 23, 2013| Leave a Comment »
On John Mahoney’s recent visit to the Archives and Special Collections, he shared a novelty with the staff. Walking over and picking up a book out of the thousands he has collected over the years, he made a questioning inquiry about a fly. “Is this the book with the fly?” Sure enough…..several pages in, there was the “stamped fly.”
The book is Les instruments a archet: les feseurs, les joueurs d’instrument, leur histoire dur le continen by Antoine Vidal.
