Anok Yai wearing GUCCI – 2026 Cruise Show

James Hemings (1765-1801), an enslaved chef who worked under Thomas Jefferson. He was the first American to train as a chef in France and is credited for introducing macaroni and cheese into American culture. In 1802, Jefferson served "macaroni pie" at a state dinner, which was very likely Hemings' recipe, and the dish grew in popularity from then on.

One of the best parts of doing this work over the course of years is that I keep find bigger, better, and higher resolution photographs of my all-time favorite works. This woman from Zanzibar (ostensibly) holding a pangolin has captured my imagination ever since I first laid eyes on a photo of a reproduction-of-a-reproduction; five days ago Sotheby’s posted this big, clear image. Check out the full painting + details here; they’ve also transcribed the inscription on the back of it. <3
