Visit to Clark 6/6/24
These images were taken while I was on a tour of the Clark Art Institute on June 6, 2024. The tour was organized by Diane Halvorsen, our classmate from the class of 1984. We got guided tours by two different members of the Clark community. Bridget and, a woman whose name I can’t recall. It was a wonderful afternoon of discovery.

Williams College Portolan Charts - 1660-61
12/10/23 - super excited to be headed back to Williams where I will get to see these maps for the second time. Here’s what I wrote about ten months ago: Portolan charts from around 1660. They were not intended for actual navigation but were instead likely used by a wealthy family either for display or for teaching their children. I put this together exhibit in January 2023 while I was teaching a class at Williams College. My thanks to Anne Peale and the Williams College Special Collections. They allowed me to shoot these images in the reading room of the Chapin Library.Image below is of me and Simon Kent, Williams class of '03, during our photoshoot.https://specialcollections.williams.edu/ keywords: earlymaps
