bells fade out
and impassable paths
appear."

Federico García Lorca
There's a full moon tonight (known as the Hunter's Moon), so we thought we'd share some of the most atmospheric moonlit scenes from our collection.
We love The Poachers (1835) by James Arthur O'Connor (and will therefore be renaming tonight's moon the Poacher's Moon!).

By the mid-20th century, it was enlarged to incorporate 24 or more gongs.
“This will be no mere one-day march in Washington, but a trek to the nation's capital by suffering and outraged citizens who will go to stay until some definite and positive action is taken to provide jobs and income for the poor.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
