This image features an illustration of a woman with long, flowing hair and wearing a large hat adorned with feathers. She is depicted in the act of reaching up to look at books displayed on shelves within what appears to be a bookstore or library setting. The background showcases various stacks of books as well as bookshelves filled with numerous titles.

The text accompanying this illustration reads: "THE PSEUDONYM AND AUTONYM Libraries, Published Monthly Price Paper, 1/6 Cloth, 2/- May be bad at all the Booksellers and Bookstalls." It further mentions that the pseudonym is a combination of names associated with different literary works such as 'The School for Scandal', 'Cinderella', etc., suggesting an exploration or discussion on the concept of pseudonyms in literature. The author listed is T. Fisher Unwin, Paternoster Square, London.

This artwork has historical significance and reflects artistic styles prevalent during a specific period. It serves not only as an advertisement but also as an example of how literary concepts were visually represented in 1894.

Booksellers in Paris have hit out at plans to “hide” them during the 2024 Olympics, after they were told by local authorities to remove their stalls for the opening ceremony for security reasons.

The bouquinistes along the River Seine make up the largest open-air book market in Europe and represent a 400-year-old tradition.

An open air book stall, run by a 'bouquiniste', on the bank of the Seine in Paris.

#Bookstalls, #Paris, #France

I always associate these #bookstalls with the Seine near #NotreDame. I enjoy browsing the titles in many languages and genres. People watching is also a fun activity here.
