I didn't see the girl in the orange dress, "Independent Booksellers of New York" tote bag, and librarian glasses who I bumped into (literally) last Friday morning at the LIC G/7 transfer.

A tour of the NYPL Map Division's holdings in class this morning. Then, for my final project, maps of Mysore, India; Auckland, New Zealand; Alexandria, Egypt; Kydonia, Crete; Ferro, Canary Islands; New York City; Babil, Iraq; and the coast of China. Mostly 19th century.

Can I just say, I love maps.
