Have you ever jotted something down on a piece of paper, and then used that same piece of paper as a bookmark? It’s a common enough phenomenon, and whether what’s on there is a sketch, a list or a reminder, it might end up lost for years or decades until you revisit the same book. As you stash your scribbling between two pages, rest assured that you’re part of a long and storied tradition. A new find, now on display at Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum, suggests that Vincent van Gogh engaged in that very same practice.
