contents: A student in his room with books. Not a lot is known for certain about reading habits in the past. Did people read aloud or silently? Did they often reread the same book? Did they read in company and did they read to one another? The student in this picture supports his head with his hand, which was, apart from being an easy posture for reading, also a classic pose denoting a certain measure of melancholy.
