And this happens when fingers that were used to hold down a book's page to be scanned were captured, and a software "repairs" this space automatically afterwards. In short: the scanned image is corrected by filling the problematic space with new content. In this case, this filling didn't fit too well: you see a "en=" text part from a different print, and some very bad pixel space. Welcome to the complex digital narrative of old printed books.
Is it a ghost? Is it a cloud? No, it is just a weird space created by a finger image removal technology trying to autocorrect the finger of the scanning person.
And another weird space created by a finger image removal technology trying to autocorrect the finger of the scanning person. The inserted sample clearly does not fit in here (or anywhere else in this print, to be honest).
That's a kind of data corruption, if you ask me. Automatic repair systems do corrupt our digital heritage.
And here the ghost aka cloud is slowly taking over the page.
Welcome to yet another example of how automatic repair systems - to be precise: finger image removal technology trying to autocorrect the finger of the scanning person - do crush our digital heritage.
Again: the inserted sample clearly does not fit in here.
Another weird space created by a finger image removal technology trying to autocorrect the finger of the scanning person. Automatic repair systems corrupt digital heritage. #bookhistory #digitalhistory#histodons

Hard to imagine the mental strength and stern discipline of the librarian not to attempt to put the library stamp where most other librarians would - evidentially - have put the stamp to.
This is the title page of a hymn book (VD16 E 1150), by the way.

Hard to unsee the screaming face of a horrified city gate. A loud "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" to those walking this bridge into Saint Ursanne. #ScreamingCityGates
