Hey all,
I just wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate your following this blog after more than three years of posting.
Here, Anon. This is for you from the deep, dark, desolate depths of the cockroach infested dungeon I call work. (—Also a vain curiosity regarding the “70’s style” webcam filter.)
I just landed a summer internship at an auction house in a department focused on fine English & continental furniture, silver, and decorative arts.

This blog is a collection of photographs and ephemera focused mainly within the curious and often misunderstood realm of 19th century America. I have a soft spot for all things silly, antiquated, macabre, and grotesque. The content is from a variety of collections; public, academic, and private. In addition, there's an occasional emphasis on Ulysses S Grant and the Civil War, as well.
