French and American Boxes
Little treasures themselves, sweets and accessories come in the most beautiful boxes - especially the French ones. Tiny boxes are one of my favorite kinds of ephemera, and also one of the most practical, as they double as storage for other tiny pieces of ephemera that would otherwise clutter up my life. In particular I appreciate Fauchon’s anticipation of reuse by producing less ephemeral tin chocolate boxes.

Librettina shares the stories of the books and ephemera in my personal library. The collection includes materials on islands and marine exploration, visual culture, women in Turkey, human rights, memory, New York, and other loosely related topics. Here I will chronicle the development of my collection and highlight points of interest. Please enjoy.
