Old books

I have got my hands on some very old and damaged books. The textures and colours are awesome.

What a great capture. The textures are indeed splendid. I'd try a capture with deeper depth of field, too grab the most of the textures. They are too gorgeous to leave out.

what are they about?

@kali66 They are in Russian. No idea. There is what appears to be a travel brochure from 1929 with them. Pretty cool but very delicate.

@monikozi Thank you - lots of textural studies coming up.

[kali]

they do look like they would crumble through your fingers

there are a few Russian speakers here, could tag them if you do show the text at all

They are lovely and must be a treat to photograph.

They are beautiful, I love the smell of old books too and that’s exactly what I though as I looked at this “I can almost smell them”!

Love the light and textures in this

[Susan Wakely]

Fascinating to see. I do like the look of old books.

Great textures

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

Love this! The up close study really lets you see how the books were made. And those wonderful textured papers of the pages. Really like this image.

[Mallory]

This is fabulous. Love the textures.

@kali66 They do indeed.
@dide They are but I am not sure I am doing them justice.
@gemmap These ones are quite stinky - water damaged. Not the nice smell you are thinking of.
