  • Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks, swanq, for pointing out the "across The Commons" commonality! We were just talking about such instances (some others of which you have also brought to our attention) this week. We highlighted a few in our 8th Flickr anniversary blog post: blogs.loc.gov/picturethis/2016/01/building-bridges-throug... . We so appreciate the sharing among the institutions and the eagle eyes of those who help us to spot connections and to identify and contextualize the pictures!
