Since we closed our card catalogs down a few years ago, we decided to offer the cards up to artists in hopes of giving them a second life. We are now going to begin to showcase the work of several artists who have used these cards in their own artistic practice.Today we showcase the work of Trish Mayo who superimposed lantern slide images from the Museum Archives onto the cards. Ancient Egypt is one of our collection strengths and this year we are celebrating the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Wilbour Library of Egyptology. More on that as we have events celebrating this great Library collection!Posted by Deirdre Lawrence. -- source link
