The Stories in this World
I have a library of images of the world I am painting. I thought I was telling the story of how cheap chapbooks changed the world. But it is actually people who change the world. Maybe I do not have to tell the story of the transformative power of print in early modern world. It is in my research and now I have a means of accessing it. I realized in looking at my library of images that the story is going to get told anyway. I came to that realization when I asked NotebookLM to do a podcast on literacy in early modern england, beginning with the invention of cheap print during the Tudor years. And there it is, the story I do not have to tell because it is already there:

So what does this picture have to do with that story? He is thinking about something he read by the fire that night. A husbandry manual.
