For our latest e-catalogue, we are remembering Christmas by highlighting
materials that speak to the spiritual and communal nature of the coming
Christian holiday. Certainly, the Bible is key to this, and so we have included a copy of Officina Bodoni's Gospels inscribed
by Pope Paul VI, as well as a number of miniature Bibles and Psalters.
In remembering Christmas, it is also important to recall the magic of
the season as experienced by children: a wonder that can be found in the
unfolding of an elaborate nineteenth-century pop-up Christmas card or a set of Dutton's chromolithographed Christmas Box Series in their original box labeled "To All Good Boys and Girls."
