As PfRC turns sixteen years old we wanted to once again extend our thanks and gratitude to our readership and to the members of the wider blogosphere (many of those fellow caretakers listed under our Smรธgรฅsblog) and new ones discovered for their serendipity, sustainment and inspiration that keeps the internet curious, entertaining, engrossing and engaging. Since hitting our last milestone, here’s a round-up of some of our most popular posts with a few honourable mentions from the past twelve months. Then it’s birthdays all the way down:
10. Watercolour estates of rural Manhattan
9. The 1939 World’s Fair
8. A history of book banning
7. more on nominative determinism
6. a transcendental animation from Jordan Belson
5. Attribution etiquette
4. A rebellious printing collective
3. an assortment of links
2. A Tennessee Williams’ classic drama
1. The 1961 biblical epic Barabbas
Honourable mentions go to Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella and a return to the Wine Island of the Main.
Wishing you all the best for the balance of the year and don’t be a stranger!
