The 19th c. world in living color: "Henry Harrison was the paymaster-general of the British Royal Navy at the end of the 19th c. He traveled the world, taking copious pictures and biological specimens.
He was also an artist, so he adroitly colored all of his slides while he was still on the spot, coming amazingly close to photorealism for the era."
I keep a weblog like it's still the 90s. For commentary and dissent please visit jontaylor.ca, or various other purveyors of thought online.
