Altarpiece of the Patron Saints of Cologne by Stephan Lochner (1440s) described in Darkmans by Nicola Barker.

   “Lochner is best known for his Adoration of the Magi which takes pride of place in the cathedral in Cologne . . .”

She turned the pages of the book until she reached a fine, colour reproduction of the painting in question, surrounded by a plethora of comments and observations written in a dark, blue ink.

“Come and look.”

   Kane strolled over. It was a beautiful painting; a triptych. In the middle panel three wise men made offerings to the baby Christ.

   “This is Saint Gereon,” she pointed to one of the side panels, “and this is Saint Ursula . . .” she pointed to the other. “They’ve augmented the Adoration with them because the two saints have a special relevance to Cologne. They were both martyred there.”

   “Do you like it?” Kane wondered, detecting an element of fastidiousness in her tone.

“But of course,” she exclaimed, “it’s magnificent, don’t you think? Finely observed, meticulously finished. A masterpiece of its time - of any time - although not, I’ll admit, what you might call the world’s most ‘emotionally involving’ work of art.”

Fong Yue Ting, David J. Brewer, and Imperfectionu

Although Justice Douglas wrote that  “racism as a constitutional principle was emphatically rejected” in Yick Wo, he noted that on May 15, 1893, the Supreme Court provided a dark day for resident aliens. However, in discussing the case, Justice Douglas focused on Justice David J. Brewer, a conservative justice, who became a champion of individual rights.
