My Favorite Find
A few weeks ago, I stumbled onto this page on the New York Public Library website.
Oh. My. Goodness. They have made hundreds of thousands of digital images available for online browsing and purchasing. From Cyanotypes of British Algae to historic illustrated zoologies, from a general file of portraits of historical and public figures to illuminated manuscripts of the Medieval time — this site has so much to offer.
You should check it out. But be prepared, you might get totally sucked in and look up only to discover that hours have passed and darkness has fallen and, goodness, that there are people that you need to feed. And, of course, I’m not speaking from personal experience or anything like that.
Being able to sit home in my pjs and flip through images that I would never have had the opportunity to enjoy otherwise just reinforces to me that this here internet is something else, y’all.
