The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon Story 9 - The Art of Book-making

from The Washington Irving Library · host Washington Irving

In which a curious wanderer, venturing into the sanctum of the British Museum’s library, discovers the industrious and somewhat mysterious process by which authors labour amid ancient tomes to conjure their modern creations. Amid reflections on the nature of literary borrowing and transformation, a whimsical dream enacts a lively masquerade of writers bedecked in fragments of worn and venerable manuscripts, illustrating the strange yet venerable art of book-making.
