Weekend Reflections

I spent the afternoon at the Met yesterday,
where I saw lots of beautiful things—
among them this 17th-century Dutch goblet.
Etched on the glass is a copy of a 1555 map that shows
the course of the Rhine River from Mainz to Utrecht.

    Stunning. It's amazing how something so fragile can last so many years.

    It is an incredible example of etching I wonder how long it took to complete.
