I’ll have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about the discussion visit to the Clements Library at first. I thought to myself, I’m in libraries enough for studying why the heck would I want to be in one for longer than I need to? However the visit to the Clements Library turned out to be a very enjoyable and educational trip.
The most intriguing objects I saw at that library were the prints of the Yokahama (sp?) Harbor and the influence it had on trade with Japan. There were two prints (only the Japanese one is pictured above), one American and one, Japanese. Both were visiually appealing, with detailed illustrations and color. The two prints differed by how each country portrayed the trading with one another. Of course the American one was illustrated more in their favor and vise versa. The American print especially showed United States military power. The Japanese print however displayed Japanese military power with the American’s bringing gifts, cannons surrounding the American fleets, and banners of Japanese warlords.
This ultimately brought up the idea of art/image having a powerful and significant influence on not only in historical aspects but how we see things today. I know that if I only saw one of the other prints my view on that particular event would’ve differed immensely.
The rest of the Clements library private collection of Asian history was very interesting. Besides the Yokahama Harbor prints I still wonder what the box said…(remember the guy who was speaking asked people to read this unknown box and whoever figured it out would get a prize) anyone know?

For an experiment, and to try out different settings on my camera, I decided to take 100 pictures of this object, a whisk. This was one of the pictures that I liked a lot.
The lead object on the left probably started out as a button or hem weight. It has been modified to make it into a toy known as a whirligig. String passed through the holes allowed for tension to be imparted causing spinning that resulted in a humming noise. Most likely Victorian. The object on the right appears to be a well made plain cast lead weight 33mm. in dia. 6mm. thick and weighing 50g. The face showing carries slight markings, but being very worn and smooth makes any identification impossible. The other face is pitted but appears to have a central raised symbol, maybe a crown or a rose, but here again, wear makes identification impossible. Note the impression of a limestone fossil embedded in the weight, a mistake made in the casting process. This is possibly a trade weight of the 16/18c. Found in the Lune Valley, Cumbria. See next picture for further detail.

Lipstick, Laura Walker, 2010
Institutions: Beauty Industry and Cinema.
Lipstick is a commodity made popular by early screenstars. Film theorist Laura Mulvey discusses the way women in mainstream cinema are portrayed as the objects of desire for an audience that is assumed to be masculine, this is called ‘the male gaze’. These two concepts are combined to produce a lipstick that makes the product’s purpose overt.
