"Two months have gone by in which this book has been entirely neglected. Because of work and night wake etc. came we behind and then ambition was lost."

So admits Dr. Carl O. Lind on page 45 of the logbook kept by five different Evangelical Covenant Church missionaries over the course of twelve years in Unalakleet, Alaska.

From Ayer Art Digital Collection (Newberry Library) in CARLI Digital Collections.

When I saw this image it reminded me of Ginevra de'Benci by Leonardo da Vinci 300 years earlier. In particular, Female Tattooed reprises the three-quarter pose and the outdoor background.
