Links: The 19th C. Is In
- The New York Times reports on Paul St. George’s faux Victorian invention, a “tunnel” that connects New York to London so that citizens of these two great cities can communicate with each other. There’s no sound, however, so waves, signing, and written messages will have to do. The five year-old in me is giddy with excitment.
- The Museum of Mourning Photography is a private collection (visits by appointment) of more than a thousand pieces of photographic mourning memorabilia, 1840 to now. It’s “not intended for morbid fascination,” but morbid fascination certainly helps. Related: Mental Floss’s take on the Victorian memento mori. (Both via Gallery Hopper.)
