New Victorian and Edwardian Scans
I put up two new magazine scans yesterday: an issue of the Delineator from May of 1891 and an issue of "Paris Modes" from 1909. I got some feedback that folks wanted to be able to see what's on the pages more easily, so I've included thumbnails in my list of pages.
I am eternally surprised by the interesting things that I find in these old fashion magazines. In the most recent Delineator there is an article called "Japanese Sketches - No. 3" with some beautiful pictures of some of the religious sites in Nikko, Japan. I went looking for modern pictures and was able to find several of the very same things. If I'm ever lucky enough to actually visit Japan I think I'll try to take some more exact comparison photos. Something about the fact that these pictures are over 100 years old makes them pretty neat in my mind.
On a tangential note, thanks for the suggestion on the Asian Grocery store down on Park Street, Katie! I knew it existed but I'd never heard anything about it to encourage me to go there. I made it there on Friday and they had everything I wanted except for star candy. ^_^
Comments:I'm glad you got down there! I've always liked that place. I don't get there often, but I don't cook Asian food nearly as often as you do either, so I don't need to. I'm so glad they had what you wanted! :)Post a Comment
