This exhibition will close on January 5th 2025, if you haven't been yet and have an opportunity to visit.

I live very near DC and checked this out today, here's a few photos!

With the angle and the lighting (it was quite dark) I wasn't able to get a good shot of the covers unfortunately. They looked very colorful.

"Closing Jan 5: Imprints in Time and Frost Fair

This week is your last chance to see Imprints in Time, a special exhibition of 52 works from Stuart and Mimi Rose’s collection of rare books and manuscripts that offers a journey across human history, knowledge, and creativity. Don't miss it!

Works on display include:

an Egyptian Book of the Dead from the first century BCE
a first edition of Nicolaus Copernicus’s De revolutionibus (1543)
J.R.R. Tolkien’s page proofs, corrected in his hand, for The Lord of the Rings
an advance press copy of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech
a section of the Apollo 11 flight plan that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had on the Moon"

Also, apparently there’s been some discussion surrounding the bindings of these galley proofs… here’s a bit more information from the curators —

“The Roses acquired the volumes already bound. Here's the description we have of the bindings:
‘Bound in full multi-colored morocco by Donald Glaister in a spectacular panorama design of carved stone wall, marquetry wood forest and the mountains of Mordor beneath fiery Middle-earth skies.’”
