#19th century

[houghtonlib]

We have just digitized our copy of The First Six Books of Euclid by Oliver Byrne (1847) which uses diagrams of intense color as an aid to learning geometry. Although it sold poorly at the time of publication, it's recognized today as a masterpiece of design and printing.

8/16/2024, Boston, Massachusetts: I ended my voyage in the only way fitting, by getting a traditional handpoked tattoo from artist, boat builder, and tattooist Owen Payette McGarry, a master of his craft and a fount of knowledge of New England maritime folk traditions.

In addition to the 19th century Nantucket whaler I chose from his flash book, the other tattoos you can see in this photo are by Facundo "Faka" Cejas (the Peglar Papers eye), Laceyrea Barrett (the fish with legs), and Chelsea Rhea (the tailfin of a huge mermaid that takes up the other side of my arm).
