Library -- Louvain (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Carl Guderian said:

  The library and much of the city of Louvain was set on fire by the occupying Germans in a five-day fit of paranoia between 25 and 30 August 1914, following a failed counterattack by Belgian forces from Antwerp. The library was only rebuilt in 1921, so that should narrow it down a bit. As these things go, yesterday I found this photo, dated 22 Sept 1914, for sale online: Link (won't be there much longer).

• Hiring Librarians said:

  Thanks for sharing this photo, I appreciate being able to get a sense of history. Just wanted to let you know I used it on my blog here: hiringlibrarians.com/2012/05/16/answer-in-a-pithy-manner/

• Carl Guderian said:

  Hiring Librarians That's perfectly OK!

• Carl Guderian said:

  Viejito Thanks for that. It's also a relief to find out that most of the good stuff survived the fire because it had been looted by Napoleon in 1797 and returned, presumably per the Congress of Vienna of 1815, to other institutions in Belgium.

Civic library, Newcastle, 18/9/1957, Hood collection

from State Library of New South Wales

  brainy girls rule!

• beachcomber australia said:

  I thought Sam Hood died in 1953? acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemdetailpaged.aspx?itemid=395018

• State Library of New South Wales said:

  Good point Beachcomber. It's from the Hood collection - obviously not actually taken by Sam. I've amended the thoughtless attribution above!

• David Hall said:

  From an era when the majority of people dressed smartly and had some self respect.
