Shahn was a painter and artist as well as a photographer who worked part-time for the FSA’s photography department. His interest in art led him to work with different kinds of cameras, some which allowed him to photograph subjects without them knowing they were being photographed, writes the International Center of Photography. But some of his most famous work was a series of 23 paintings done about the trial of Italian anarchists Sacco & Vanzetti, a case which “disturbed me very much,” he once said.

Bernice Elizabeth Kenstaites was born in Glasgow, Scotland on November 11, 1911 to Lithuanian parents. She immigrated to the USA in 1920, in 1930, she was living with cousins in Chicago and working as a laborer at a can factory.

In 1933, she married William Daunora, a Lithuanian immigrant and they had a son the next year. In 1940 Bernice was naturalized as a US citizen and they were living in Gary, Husband William was a crane operator at the steel works.

Armour of King Stephen Báthory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth dated between 1550-1560 on display in the Weltmuseum in Vienna, Austria

This ensemble is formed of a Turkish helmet and armour thought to be from Prague. It is not known when and how Bathory came into possession of the helmet, though presumably it came to Transylvania as an honorary gift from the Ottoman Sultan (perhaps Sultan Selim II) in order to tie the recipient to himself. Stephen Bathory was elected Grand Duke of Transylvania in 1571 and in 1575 he became King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. By conquering Pskov he won the Livonian War (1578-1582) alongside Denamr, Sweden and Norway against the Russian ruler Tsar Ivan IV, the Terrible.
