    It’s so easy to get lost in the archives isn’t it? ls there a particular reason you chose costumes? These are phenomenal.

    Oh WOW! Thank you so much for the link to the Smithsonian Library.
    I’m kicking myself – I purchased a few of these for a dime each when I stumbled across a garage sale in San Francisco. I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE WHOLE LOT. I am literally now taking off the scotch tape and will immediately dignify then with a proper frame. Who would have thunk….

  15. I think educational activity is based on a teacher him/herself as well as the language or probably even more. How much a student can learn during the limit period of time does depends on the teacher and how (s)he can handle him/herself in various situations.
