About the item: Stara Kniha (Old Book). Jan Sobota. Dallas: Jan Sobota, 1980-1998. x-Collection, Special Collections & Archives, University of Iowa Libraries. This book includes fragments of historic manuscripts, pressed flowers and plants, and hand lettering and illustration. It is featured in the Spring 2024 Main Library Gallery exhibit, 'Making the Book, Past and Present.' About the exhibit: 'Making the Book, Past and Present' explores the intersections of history, art, and practicality. What can we learn by placing books, materials, and makers from the Middle Ages through today in conversation with one another? Many techniques and materials common centuries ago still inspire contemporary book artists and bookbinders. Curated by Eric Ensley and Emily Martin, this exhibition features a global selection of rare historic books and modern book art. From medieval manuscripts and early modern works to recent book sculptures, pop-ups, and books that move, these Special Collections & Archives materials shown together make a visual feast representing the strong connection between books and makers past and present.
