flickr joy

Flickr just announced that the Brooklyn Museum has added archival photos to The Commons. Included in the 2,000-some photos are nearly 300 photos of the 1900 Paris Exposition, many hand-colored. I'm just about done hopping in my seat over this, but no promises.

Lovely, lovely! Thank you! I agree, we need to reinstate the practice of world's fairs.
