Sam at BLAG<p>Can anyone help with an email enquiry I've received about the history of the hashtag?</p><p>"I've been looking at how the symbol evolved from the abbreviation of libra pundo to what we see today.

pdfimpose<p>🎂 pdfimpose is 10 years old! How did it start?</p><p>I was visiting my sister in Switzerland, when we stumbled upon the "Atelier-Musée encre et plomb" ("Ink and Lead Workshop and Museum" <a href="https://encretplomb.ch/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">encretplomb.ch/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>). It is an awesome printing museum: they have printing presses, from Gutenberg to the Linotype, and THEY USE THEM IN FRONT OF YOU! So you actually *see* their improvements over the centuries. There was also a part about binding, where they talked about imposition… </p><p><a href="https://floss.social/tags/museum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>museum</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/printing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>printing</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/birthday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birthday</span></a></p>
