facsimiles

I found a really neat website that finds and sells facsimiles of old books, rolls, documents, etc. facsimilefinder.com. While the price tags are way over my head, they have some great photos and visuals. It is a lot of fun to look at the artwork and design in these relics. I’ll highlight a few I was impressed by. Keep in mind that these are replicas that you could actually buy if you had a few gold coins to spare. The artwork is just incredible . . . truly a window into the past. The following headers/titles link to the corresponding web pages.
