See You Soon?
|
In this issue, John Davis, Jr. shares four poems beginning with a praise to the coast in “Inland: A Breakup Letter.”
Matt Cashion relishes in the complexities of human nature that emerge when a mysterious light source appears in the sky in “See You Soon?”
And Meredith McCarroll extols the virtues of packing lightly while always having precisely what you need in “Bags.”
The images in this issue come from a series of lectures delivered in the 1860s at the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia by Lewis W. Leeds. Leeds’ work focused largely on the ventilation of government hospitals during the war.
Three illustrations from Lectures on Ventilation—Being a Course Delivered in the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia during the winter of 1866-6, by Lewis W. Leeds, Special Agent of the Quartermaster General for the Ventilation of Government Hospitals during the War and Consulting Engineer of Ventilation and Heating for the US Treasury Department. “Man’s own breath is his greatest enemy.” JOHN WILEY & SON, PUBLISHERS, 1869.
