One grand room
No gloves, no vaults, no humidity sensors. Each week, Michael Twyman presents a room filled
with theatre broadsheets, government documents and various samples showcasing street reading
artifacts of the 18th and 19th-century France and Britain. One is able to touch the paper, ink,
punch of metal type and wood typefaces used as a sample collection of prints all in original size and scale.
