Wild and Historic New Jersey: Prints and Paintings
Fantastic historic prints and maps of New Jersey can be see in an online exhibition by the Morven Museum. Like the images above, a view of the Delaware Water Gap by an unknown artist, and an engraving of Bordentown Landing by Karl Bodmer, because of course he and Prince Maximillian stopped by to visit Joseph Bonaparte’s estate before heading west.
The original exhibition, Portrait of Place: Paintings, Drawings, and Prints of New Jersey, 1761–1898, was held at Morven in 2013 and was drawn from the collection of Joseph Felcone.

Political Cartoonist Tom Toles Just Retired
Political cartoonist Tom Toles has just retired. His cartoon above is so good, I cut it out of an actual newspaper in 1998 and still have it. See Tom Toles’ final cartoon.
