The Vanderbilt Hotel Gilded Age Manhattan Architecture Print framed xmas artwork The Celestial Mechanics of Wandering

The Celestial Mechanics of Wandering Worlds charts the planets in their solemn errantry — those bright vagabonds the Greeks called planētes

where a planet could be found by arithmetic alone

Bienville Square's live oaks

the gold-domed capitol presiding over a city built on insurance ledgers and seed corn

and Fourth Street greeting cards bright with the bustle of a bourbon town
