Fun Friday Resources
/I was searching for a particular title on the Public Domain Review website which didn’t turn up — but look at what did: An amazing random selection of rabbitholes!
Stuff like…
The Strange Adventures of a Pebble (1921), a treatise on the geological biography of the universe.
Art Brut: The Scare-Fox (1910): Like a scarecrow, only for foxes.
Lithographs from M. E. Descourtilz’s Atlas des Champignons (1827): Exactly what it says, lithographs of mushrooms.
The Music of Light: Emily Noyes Vanderpoel’s Colour Analysis Charts (1902): Exactly what it says, a guide for artists, decorators, and gardeners.
That was just four of the twenty-four random items that PDR offered me instead of an online version of a book they’re selling. Go check them out! How else will you learn about “The Black Dandy of Buenos Aires Racial Fictions and the Search for Raúl Grigera”?
