Paul Revere made a teaspoon, and it looks like he drew a picture of the Boston Massacre, a tea urn, a sugar bowl, and another tea set.
When I typed in "Sioux" I received all sorts of Native American Sioux items, from Gauntlets, to Scalp Shirts (I hope that's not as bad as it sounds), to pipe bowls, and paintings.
I searched for "Van Gogh" and pictures of his paintings came up, with descriptions of museums that have them in their collections. Now I know where to go if I ever want to see them.
I can see our community using this resource to research historical figures for school projects. It would also give people another lead as to where to go to find other historical collections.
I searched for "Dakota" and added a picture to my favorites. I was able to view my picture (a black and white picture of a cattle skull in a field) and it gave me the description of the picture below. When I clicked on the picture it made it bigger and gave the full title, museum information and photo info.
You made some good finds here, BookWorm! Did you try putting several images in Favorites and viewing them? The compare feature could be useful to those interested in detail, and the slide show is a good way to pre-select images to show for whatever purpose. I hope you'll remember this one when patrons need this kind of information. Thanks for your comments.
