In 2024, Mount Rainier National Park celebrated its quasquicentennial, or the 125th Anniversary of its creation in 1899. The park has grown and changed a lot in those years! Pieces of its history have been preserved in the park’s archives. These objects and documents give a glimpse into the many events that have shaped the Mount Rainier National Park we know today.
A few of them are captured in the story map “Celebrating Mount Rainier’s 125th Anniversary with Artifacts”.

Lately the Louvre, around pages 780-820, has been filled with pottery fragments and bits of decoration from architecture long since ground to dust. Well and good if you like pottery or hellenistic decorative accents, but I can take or leave them, so I’ve been scrolling rather quickly at this point. I’ve found myself much more interested in the various catalog labels and display placards; these are two of the best. Look at the penmanship on Decmani-Man, and the intriguing design on the N Crown.
While looking at these I said, “Treating historical information about ancient art as historic art in and of itself! How metatextual” and then had to take a long hard look at myself as well.
[ID: Two images of pottery fragments; one is a flat plate of fired clay that has “Decmani-Man” stamped into it, below which is a helpful label that also reads the same in more modern hand, with a display placard with lovely penmanship below it. The second image is a cup with a label pasted right onto it, featuring an accession number, the letter N, and a crown above the N.]

That grey (monochrome photo?) telegram second from bottom is notable: it’s from Orville Wright in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina USA, informing his father that he and brother Wilbur had successfully made the world’s first ever heavier-than-air aeroplane flights.
