Put away the digital device and pick up a pencil and paper – research shows that we remember things better when we write them down. But don’t just throw away your notes… Why not save them in a pocket diary?
During the 19th century, patented pocket diaries, pocket books, and pocket writing tablets proliferated. This small and gorgeous papier-mâché binding, inlayed with mother-of-pearl, covers erasable paper, making for a rather stylish writing tablet (circa 1850).
You can see this pocket writing tablet on display in our current exhibition The Living Book : New Perspectives on Form and Function open through January 5, 2018.
