Antique Memes

Wanderings through university and library image collections; etchings, leaflets, prints, lithographs, relics of yore. Items digitized from before the digital age. Let's remember what we forgot. Lest we forget.

ANTIQUE - collectible old item: a collectible decorative or household object that is valued because of its age, the style, traditions, and qualities of ancient times, old and often valuable, of interest to collectors

MEME - a cultural characteristic passed down through generations: any characteristic of a culture, e.g. its language, that can be transmitted from one generation to the next in a way analogous to the transmission of genetic information

hi! I saw the question from earlier asking about a tumblr posting antique textiles. The Design Center at Philadelphia University's tumblr posts a lot of old textiles, their collection is pretty amazing! Their tumblr name is thedesigncenter.

Merci!
