When George Washington died on December 14, 1799, the nation mourned. This cross stitch from the @davidlibrary collection is based on an 1801 engraving honoring the first president. #WorldEmbroideryDay #CollectionHighlights #embroidery #crossstitch #georgewashington

This copy of Romeo and Juliet with John Hancock's 1761 #signature came to the APS as part of the David Library's #rarebook collections—less is known about how the book exchanged hands between the two ladies who signed on the left #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesSignatures

The #JohnHancock may be most recognizable—but this 1752 copy of Romeo & Juliet bears signatures of 3 women, too. Julia Marlowe (1895) was an actress known for her interpretations of Shakespeare + feminist activism #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesSignatures #HERstory #bookhistory
