I work in an old pseudo-library that still has its old card catalog–there are cards in there from the early 1900s and potentially older cards than that. They’re quite beautiful to look at…
“Maps of segregated coal lands in Howe-Poteau district, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory, with description of unleased segregated coal lands; by J.A. Taff, 1904”.
Most of the cards are newer than this one, but finding the old ones is always a treat.
It’s not your age! Serendipity! Fucken serendipity! It’s one of the few reasons I don’t like my e-reader as there are no shelves to browse other than a title list sorted by author or date published.
