Vintage photographs were so much cooler in the pre-Instagram era. Look how marvelously red-hued this slide has become with age.

Maps are great candidates for digital presentation. For one, say you have a large, table-sized, map – digitize it and presto! now it’s a manageable size. Then digitization enables stepwise magnification at the clicks of a mouse button. Plus maps are beautiful.

H.E. Nutt taught music teachers. He developed curricula for VanderCook in the early days of instrumental music education. The papers in this collection exude Nutt’s enthusiasm for his topic, one could even say he was nuts about it (WAH-wah).

When it comes to art I enjoy a lot of stuff going on at once. So I like this oil and wax painting.
The black-and-white figure of a woman -- meditating? in anguish? -- dominates the center of the canvas, floating in front of a layered background of colorful and stylistically varied angels. There’s a little tableaux at the right where two figures interact, one of them oblivious to the fact that she’s dripping blood or red paint. The drips stream like tears down one of the faces anchoring the artwork at the bottom, receding into the background, eyes closed -- in sleep? sorrow?
