I posed recently about my recent obsession with Hooke's Micrographia (1665) and the incredible feather drawings it has. I really wanted to see an original copy and luckily, Yale has two! So, earlier this week, I headed down to the Beinecke Library with @mylestogo.bsky.social to check it out

Long S fticks until ~1820! It is even found in the Bill of Rights (Congrefs). One way to get a little more ufed to it is to compare the F and long S in the particular type-fet you are looking at in the manufcript. The long-S ufually doefn't have a complete bar acrofs the ftroke, wheras the "F" will.
