INTRODUCTION TO THE COLLECTION

Victoria University Library holds the Laure Rièse monograph collection. Over the course of several years, as the collection was processed and added to the University of Toronto Libraries Catalogue, various materials were found inserted between the pages of several books. As the number of inserts continued to grow, plans were made to organize them into a formal collection in order to establish intellectual control and preserve their research value. A Material Culture student was hired in 2023 to arrange the inserts according to document type and order them chronologically. Descriptions were written to provide contextual information. The titles and call numbers of the monographs where the inserts were originally found have been included where possible.

ABOUT THE COLLECTION

The Laure Rièse insert collection is comprised of textual and graphic records that were found inserted between the pages of the Laure Rièse monograph collection. The records primarily consist of publishers’ advertisements, subscription cards and sales lists, but correspondence, invitations and artwork are also included.

Publisher's advertisement

Christine, reine de Suede (1626-1689) DL719. C27 The advertisement is a summary of the life of Christina, Queen of Sweden. At first she was not allowed to get close to the military level of things, so she tried to strengthen herself through art and literature in a country filled with the rhythms of war in the age of intellectual women. Sacrificing female sensibility to her ambition to become queen, she converted to religious beliefs. After she abdicated, she still could not find happiness. She is a dissatisfied and disappointed woman, great but with many weaknesses.
