Like I said, I took a lot of pictures, so this is going to be the first third of the pictures that I took in Columbia
Woodcut by Fred Geary at the Ellis Library’s Art Museum
Another Fred Geary Woodcut (there were over 50 on special exhibit)
Steel plate used to print copies of George Caleb Bingham’s painting “Order No.11″ -the plate alone took over 3 years to complete!
A very nice worker at the Missouri State University archives showed us some interesting artifacts from the Civil War
A “cross-hatched” letter- the writing went both vertical and horizontal- this didn’t make for the easiest reading experience!
An 1864 Confederate $50 bill
The archives had a mind-boggling array of just about anything old that’s made of paper that you could possibly want- letters, wills, title deeds, books, newspapers and so much more! We only spent 30 inside and it almost felt like you could easily spend 30 years!
