China Asters and The Joy of Search

On a whim I typed "China Aster" into the library of Congress image database.  They do have many agricultural images after all.

What popped up made me smile.

  • Title: Aster Chinese Restaurant
  • Date Created/Published: [between 1918 and 1928]
  • Medium: 1 negative : glass ; 8 x 10 in. or smaller

 Wow!  Thonet chairs, too?!


And finally this....when I removed the  "china".  
  • Title: [Aster (aster)]
  • Creator(s): Johnston, Frances Benjamin, 1864-1952, photographer
  • Date Created/Published: [between 1915 and 1935]
  • Medium: 1 photograph : glass lantern slide, b&w ; 3.25 x 4 in.


After this I got photos of the Astors :-)
