Notes: Félix Bonfils was born in St. Hippolyte du Fort in France in 1831. Originally a bookbinder, in 1860 he enlisted and was sent to the Levant. He liked Lebanon and when his young son Adrien (born 1860) developed respiratory problems, he decided to emigrate. In 1867 the Bonfils family moved to the dry climate of Beirut and opened a photographic studio there. Félix photographed extensively throughout Egypt, Palestine, Syria, and Greece. His work is infused with a sense of exploration and love for his medium. The Maison Bonfils eventually became a large, successful business with branches in Cairo, Alexandria and France. The studio was famous for its Middle Eastern views, and profited from the enormous popularity of organized tours that had opened up tourism in the latter half of the nineteenth century.

On our first day, we discovered that our backyard is a school playground. I have yet to see them play basketball, but I am happy to see them playing football (soccer) every morning, lunch, and afternoon.

I really struggled with PhotoShop, as my laptop crashes constantly when I use it, but I wanted to submit something. I'll keep working on it until it's how I want it.

As you maybe know, last weeks of 2019 were totally focused on rehousing our office to a new building. This is a shot of my new office, taken using the timer on my camera. So the room is new, the view too, most of the furniture. The person in the room (actually it is me) is not new. Not at all.....
The smaller of Meridian's active subwoofers, the SW1600 features a 300mm long-throw custom driver for superb power handling, with the amplifier and power supply to match. With both analogue and digital inputs it is ideal for systems of either type.
The SW1600 features a sealed cabinet, for maximum flexibility in positioning, whether free-standing or as part of a built-in installation. It is ideal as a mono subwoofer for a Meridian Digital Theatre system, in particular to give exciting cinema effects and added realism to movies. The SW1600 is optimised for both music and movie soundtrack applications and integrates seamlessly into a system.
The recommended configuration for music is to use two subwoofers, one for each of the main left and right channels, for a superb stereo image. In a large system, multiple subwoofers can be employed to provide even more impressive effects.

Webb may have found evidence for the long-theorized first generation of stars — as well as the most distant active supermassive black hole to date. GN-z11, a galaxy that existed 430 million years after the big bang, is giving up its secrets.
This extremely bright galaxy was discovered by @NASAHubble and is one of the earliest distant galaxies ever observed. Webb found the first clear evidence explaining why it is so luminous: a 2-million-solar-mass central supermassive black hole rapidly gobbling up matter.
Observers using Webb also discovered a pocket of pristine gas in the galaxy’s halo. Theory and models both suggest that clumps of helium like these may collapse to form Population III stars, the first generation of stars in the early universe. These stars have never been observed. They’d be made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium (unlike modern stars, which contain heavier elements) and be massive, bright, and hot. Finding them is one of the most important goals of modern astrophysics.

This image: This two-part graphic shows evidence of a gaseous clump of helium in the halo surrounding galaxy GN-z11. In the top portion, at the far right, a small box identifies GN-z11 in a field of galaxies. The middle box shows a zoomed-in image of the galaxy. The box at the far left displays a map of the helium gas in the halo of GN-z11, including a clump that does not appear in the infrared colors shown in the middle panel. In the lower half of the graphic, a spectrum shows the distinct “fingerprint” of helium in the halo. The full spectrum shows no evidence of other elements and so suggests that the helium clump must be fairly pristine, made of hydrogen and helium gas left over from the big bang, without much contamination from heavier elements produced by stars. Theory and simulations in the vicinity of particularly massive galaxies from these epochs predict that there should be pockets of pristine gas surviving in the halo, and these may collapse and form Population III star clusters.
Image description: A graphic labeled “Galaxy GN-z11, Pristine Gas Clump Near GN-z11.” The graphic is divided into two sections. The top half of the graphic features a rectangular image of a field of galaxies. At lower right, a small region is highlighted with a white box. A white arrow extends leftward to a larger box showing an enlarged view of the highlighted area. The box is labeled “GN-z11” and features a fuzzy yellow dot at lower right. A second arrow extends left to a white box labeled “Helium Two Detected.” It shows a pixelated image with a dark purple background. Two yellow-green blobs with red contours are at lower right and upper left. The bottom half of the graphic shows a single line graph with a white jagged line of data plotting the relative brightness of the second clump in the helium two image at different wavelengths of light. A red shaded area at about 1.90 microns marks the position of a helium 2 emission line.

Active dry yeast is the form of yeast most commonly availablein the United States. Under most conditions, active dry yeast must first be proofed or rehydrated. It can be stored at room temperature for a year, or frozen for more than a decade, which means that it has better keeping qualities than other forms, but it is generally considered more sensitive than other forms to thermal shock when actually used in recipes.

Notes: Jackson began his photographic career in Omaha, Nebraska in 1867. After briefly working for another photographer, he and his brother purchased a studio. Jackson first made a name for himself when he and his assistant Arundel Hull traveled along the newly completed Union Pacific Railroad photographing the line, the railroad towns, and scenic wonders in 1868 and 1869. Between 1870 and 1879 he was the photographer in charge for the Hayden Survey. He was the first photographer to reach Yellowstone National Park and his images played a part in the recognition of that area for special protection. In 1879 Jackson opened a studio in Denver, Colorado and in 1881 he began work for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. In 1892 he incorporated the W.H. Jackson Photography & Publishing company and traveled throughout the world as a photographer. In 1897 he moved to Detroit where the Detroit Publishing Company used his images as postcards. In 1924 the company went bankrupt and Jackson moved to Washington D.C. to publish his memoirs and paint historic western scenes.

Object No. 2022.380
Shelf: L-14
Publication: Charles Blanc, L'Oeuvre de Rembrandt reproduit par la photographie, Gide, Librarie-Editeur, Paris, 1858
Lucian Goldschmidt and Weston J. Naef, The Truthful Lens, The Grolier Club, New York, 1980, cat. no 17
Other Collections: NYPL, Rijksmuseum, BNF,
Provenance: Daniel Oliver
Rank: 400
Notes: The first book published with illustrations printed directly from albumen on glass negatives. This is the atlas volume containing 13 plates. The mounting pages bear the legends "Gide et J. Baudry Editeurs" and "Photog. par Bisson, Fr. - Imp. Lemercier, Paris."
L'Oeuvre de Rembrandt, reproduit par photographie represents a somewhat less traditional choice of subject. Although Rembrandt's etchings and paintings were rediscovered in the 1840s, thanks to the writings of Thore-Burger and the works of the Barbizon school, they did not command the high prices of a Raphael or Rubens, or even an Ingres or Wilkie. The etchings that Blanc selected were even less appreciated, except by a small group of peintures-graveurs and collectors who later formed the Societe des Aquafortistes. Blanc must have convinced Gide et Baudry, a well-known firm specializing in luxuriously illustrated travel books, to edit the work and turned to Lemercier et Compagnie to produce prints from Bisson's negatives.
