  • Nucius in nuce
    Nucius.org is something between a personal blog and an archive. I'll fill this site with (old and historic) stuff I encounter by the way (meaning: in real life), mostly photographs, graphics and engravings, still some historic documents and/or books remain or may follow.
  • Click here for historic lithographs of Chicago in the late 19th century

    Online: "The New Chicago Album", more than 60 historic lithographs originally published in 1883
