The artist James Smetham was #BornOnThisday 1821 in Yorkshire. A devout Methodist, he was admired by both Ruskin and Rossetti, and the latter might have helped with this painting of a gorgeously costumed, wistful-looking mandolin player https://victorianweb.org/painting/smetham/paintings/29.html

#bornonthisday

Zwei Tage nach der Bücherverbrennung 1933, veröffentlichte Graf diesen Artikel in der Wiener Arbeiterzeitung.

Und schon heute ist das #Buch,
wie die aktuelle wissenschaftliche Produktionsweise lehrt, eine veraltete Vermittlung zwischen zwei verschiedenen Katalogsystemen.

Denn alles Wesentliche findet sich im #Zettelkasten des Forschers, der's verfasste, und der Gelehrte, der darin studiert, assimiliert es seiner eigenen #Kartothek.
