April 21, 2026

Image description: Collage with three images. Clockwise from top left: Black-and-white photograph of a man (Calvin Frye), seated casually in front of a wooden rolltop desk. On a side table next to the desk is a semicircular Hammond typewriter. Crop of a typed letter on letterhead from the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, as well as the first few words visible. The letter begins: "Mr. J. F. Bailey, My dear student." Crop of letterhead from the Bradley, Garretson, & Company Publishers in Philadelphia, with a printed illustration of a woman typing on a typewriter at a desk, and a man sitting on the opposite side of the desk. A brief explanation of "The Type-Writer" is given below it.
