@ABrit96 @milhistbuff3 @barrymosk @ChubbyCash1 They're both very interesting. Here's a pic of David Bowie working on a piece with Hearst (not in the pic). I think the left pic is what came of it. Itwas sold in an auction after Bowie's death.

Here's a page from the Gotha Almanac from 1864, I think. Lincoln was still president. I found parts of his biography today in an old magazine from 1866, too, when I went through the pages.
@ABrit96 @milhistbuff3 @DrRJWarren @CCT @barrymosk Tehy reminded me a bit of a pic I found back some days ago. I made this spontaneously when I got some Chinese calligraphic brushes and ink for Christmas when I was about 17, and I wanted to try them out.
