I am very honored that my friend Tina Lonergan, an enormously talented writer who blogs over at The Clean White Page, has nominated The Virtual Dime Museum for a Weblog Award (in the Writing and Best Kept Secret categories). I'm overcoming my customary reticence in order to let you know and invite you to vote for VDM over there at the link, for which I thank you enormously, in advance.The Pittsburg Visible-Writing Machine advertisement is from the NYPL Digital Gallery, and dates from about 1900, give or take a few years. The lady in her fancy mutton sleeves is looking mighty happy and serene, so I suppose she is not suffering from writer's block. Although the table is at such a peculiar angle, she is in danger of having the Visible-Writing Machine slip right onto her lap (or the floor). Simplicity may indeed be Superiority, but a flat work surface is a good thing, too.

Well deserved! This is an excellent blog!
Done! I've just voted. It was nice because one needs to vote for three or more sites, so I could nominee other blogs that I like. Best of luck!
I'm sure the lady finds the machine a welcome alternative when she has become bored with invisible writing.
PS. Voted!
Thanks, Sheila! And thank you everyone who voted, I really appreciate it! :)
Oh gee. I missed the deadline, - again.
Well good for you. I like your blog and I love your profile. We have a great many things in common.
