On the 191st birthday of our first University Librarian Willard Fiske, the president of Iceland visited our rich Fiske Icelandic Collection. To honor the visit, we gifted President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson with a custom-made book of images from the collection. ♥️🇮🇸

The faint line at the edge of the print (and extending down) is the fine strand holding the display page open. Nearly invisible! Most of the book supported with polystrap. But w/the strand, the opening is unobstructed. Beautiful!
