>Among the most original prints made in France during the last quarter of the nineteenth century are those by Félix Buhot. Along with artists like Charles Jacque, Louis Monziès and Félix Bracquemond, he is credited with reviving seventeenth-century etching techniques in late nineteenth-century art. However, he was highly experimental and regularly employed technical variables and regularly combined multiple processes to produce a single print. He used traditional techniques of etching, drypoint, and aquatint along with modern methods such as photomechanical reproduction. Buhot’s most notable contribution to the history of printmaking is a device he termed "marges symphoniques" (symphonic margins). Inspired by the marginal decorations of medieval manuscripts and eighteenth-century French book illustrations, Buhot developed two types of margins, etching the first on the same plate as the central subject and printing the second, called a “false margin,” from a separate plate.

I have way more, but sadly I only have QR codes not actual links.
I think I'll post them. I just need to think about how to do it, so it's at least somewhat readable, and doesn't take too much place.
Meanwhile here's one of my favourite political philosophy books of late 17th century:

I don't know why font-rendering sucks ass, but oh well.

Bumping this one last time, because I'm just that obsessed with archive.org.
Hopefully someone else shares my obsession.

That's what started my obsession with collecting non-fiction .pdfs, .epubs etc (I think I'm at ~16,000 and counting now).
I sorta stopped when some cunts just started dumping thousands and thousands of court dockets

Various municipal government documents from Roxbury, now a neighborhood of Boston, offering an intimate cross section of life in one of the oldest towns of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1857-1867. Datasets like this make me wish I knew how to apply machine learning.

Hey I have few links similar to this.
First an almanac for 1787 from Massachusetts.
http://archive.org/details/pocketalmanackfo1787amer
Then journals of provincial Congress of Massachusetts. This was a temporary government during the revolution, when the General Court wasn't in session, because the governor didn't want to inaugurate it, or whatever.
