I Like Pretty Things

[caitri]

Today I Saw:

-Thomas Jefferson's Notes on Virginia with his handwritten corrections.
-His architecture plans for the Rotunda at UVA.
-The first edition of Leaves of Grass.
-The first edition of Howl.
-The first account of the Lande of Virginiae that describes the loss of this colony called Roanoke.
-The mockup for Huckleberry Finn in which an angry illustrator had inserted lewd images.
-Pornagraphic Japanese teacups.

Go figure.
