Old Books, Letters, and Paper

A group of yellowed paper objects. On a low table, a stack of old leather-bound hardcover books with half-worn-off gold-stamped titles; next to it, a stack of old letters tied with string, the paper already a deep cream; an open photo album contains faded black and white photos. They are not neatly arranged but casually stacked on the table and chairs. Avoid: using brand new books and modern printed materials, arranging books by color, using decorative fake book boxes, making the paper look pristine white and clean.

一組泛黃的紙質物件。矮几上一疊皮面精裝的舊書,燙金的書名已經磨掉一半;旁邊一疊用細繩綁著的舊信,紙已經變成深米黃;一本攤開的相簿裡是褪色的黑白照片。它們不是整齊陳列的,而是隨手疊放在桌上與椅子上。避免:使用全新的書與現代印刷品、把書按顏色排列、使用裝飾用的假書盒、讓紙張看起來潔白乾淨。
