The Grand Opera House, also known as The Grand or Masonic Hall and Grand Theater, is a 1,208-seat theater for the performing arts. The four-story building was built in 1871 by the Delaware Grand Lodge of Masons to serve as a Masonic Temple and auditorium.
Historically, the Grand hosted a variety of operas, symphonies, Victorian melodramas, minstrel shows, burlesque, vaudeville, and other exhibitions. For most of the twentieth century the Grand was operated exclusively as a movie theater, run by Warner Brothers from 1930 and eventually closing in 1967. It was reopened four years later and returned to programming emphasizing classical music, partnering with the Delaware Symphony Orchestra, OperaDelaware, and the First State Ballet Theatre.

George Bellows (1882-1925) was one of America’s greatest artists. Rooted in realism with focus on social, political and cultural issues, his powerful drawings and paintings depicted boxing matches, and the gritty life of the New York working class.

En España, la historia de Galicia siempre estuvo relegada y escondida, hasta que, como siempre, vinieron los estudiosos extranjeros a descubrir la verdad que otros ocultaban.
Y...¡eureka!...Somos el primer estado europeo, con la bandera más antigua, a la caída del Imperio Romano. (Siglo V). Año 409.
E nos,,,caladiños, como troitas, sin aspaventos nin nacionalismos arrogantes.
Incluso los castros, la mayoría, fueron sacados a la luz por arqueólogos alemanes en el siglo XIX.
Fixed all the problems in the first state of printing. Much better on white paper. Also, used a Zerkal etching paper so the detail is better. You can see even the marks from glass paper here and there.

With sales of about 200 million copies, “A Tale of Two Cities” is the biggest selling novel in history. It began as weekly installments from April 30, 1859 to November 26, 1859 in Dickens’ literary periodical titled “All the Year Round.” It depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the French revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same period.
Chapman & Hall published the novel in 8 monthly parts (July – December 1859) and in book form that same year and commissioned Hablot K. Browne [Phiz] to create full page illustrations for the story. It was the last of Dickens’ books to be illustrated by Hablot K. Browne.

*please excuse the poor quality of these pics* Taken in the rain the night before Return Day 2017. I'd gone up to Georgetown, Delaware for the evening festivities - there is a parade the following day and music and food on the night before. When I walked around a corner I couldn't believe my eyes as all these cars were lined up on the street.....no one around, just me and the rain and the vehicles. It was as if I'd stumbled onto a movie set and just traveled back in time!
