Museum unveils Bronte’s teeny tiny early work

A manuscript by British author Charlotte Brontë that fits comfortably into the palm of a hand that fetched 691,000 pounds ($1.1 million) at a Sotheby’s auction in December, more than twice the upper estimate, went on display this week.

One of the joys of buying used records is finding things that the previous owner left inside the sleeve. This card, typed in Braille, was inside a copy of Bitches Brew by Miles Davis that I picked up yesterday at a flea market. Huge thanks to koda-cub for translating it:

“It’s a list of songs. Vivaldi’s Virtuosi di Roma, Concerto Grosso in A Minor (Op. 3 No. 8), Bela’s Violin Concerto #2, and Vivaldi’s Il Sospetto in C Minor. The writer of the paper consistently spells ‘minor’ with an e.”
