Art/ Family

Some of this trip’s discoveries

I quote myself: “As the child of two librarians, one of whom worked in rare books and special collections, I don’t have family stuff so much as a museum and archive.”

So when I’m at my parents’ house, I dig around. This time I found some scrapbooks. Steve wrote about the contents of one of them over at the Periscope blog. The other one was kept by my great-grandfather:

I just made this lady into a LiveJournal icon:
