See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SDLIBR_160720_001.JPG: Ralph Mocine Untitled, early 20th century
2. SDLIBR_160720_004.JPG: Leslie William Lee Jung Ho, 1939
3. SDLIBR_160720_019.JPG: William Hogarth (1697-1764) The English artist William Hogarth was a leading social critic of his day -- known for his satirical art that mocked the manners and morals of 18th century England. He is best known for his series of paintings that told a story through related scenes. The six-part Marriage a la Mode (1743) mocked upper-class marriage customs. The eight-part series, A Rake's Progress (1735), shows the rise and fall of a middle-class youth. Other works poked fun at the courts, elections, corrupt public officials, and the social costs of liquor. The sale of engravings from these works made Hogarth wealthy. But he was a controversial critic and disliked by many artists. The Hogarth works shown in this exhibit are part of a 99-piece Wangenheim collection of original engravings and etchings.

6. SDLIBR_160720_046.JPG: The Rosetta Stone This is a plastic replica of the original 11-inch thick black basalt stone now in the British Museum. When found in 1799, the two Egyptian scripts, hieroglyphic, and demotic, had not been deciphered for centuries, but Greek had never been lost. From it Jean Champollion, a Frenchman, completely deciphered the hieroglyphics by 1832. The stone is a copy of a decree honoring Ptolemy V at the end of the ninth year of his reign as rules of Egypt, April 4, 196 BC. The decree gives Ptolomy's titles, describes his love for his people and his country and lists benefits he had conferred on Egypt: Forgiveness of debts owed the crown; Tax reduction; Release of Prisoners; Restoration of temples and sacred buildings; etc.

Spain. 1615 A missal is a service book containing the texts necessary for the performance of the Mass (including chants, prayers, and readings), together with ceremonial directions. This missal contains only chants of the celebrant and the responses of the choir (the antiphonal) and the congregation. Translation of title Page: "Offici vivus te Missa. Beati" -- Celebration of your blessed living Mass or living Mass for blessed Joseph. Cof. is the abbreviation for the Latin word confrater which means colleague or brother and was the church title for Brother. Title page verso is a dedication to the Virgin Mary and starts "Divo Josepho" which is Spanish for Divine Joseph then text switches to Latin.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
2016 photos: Seven relatively short trips this year: two Civil War Trust conference (Gettysburg, PA and West Point, NY, with a side-trip to New York City), my 11th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California), a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral, two additional trips to New York City, and a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
