The Cover for Its Books
Photo / graphic by Roman.
It has occurred to me that both the old Chicago Public Library in what is now the Cultural Center and the new Harold Washington Library are (were) architectural attempts to get us to judge books by their cover… This part of the cover is the Winter Garden in the Harold Washington Library.

Living wood seems to have a special glow about it that I have attempted to capture time and again. Here it is, again, as it was on a cold February day in 2020.

Since I was there again recently, I took a few more photos of the “Mother Earth” sculpture by Vittore Bocchetta at the Harold Washington Library.

A view of the first floor ceiling in the Harold Washington Library from the basement. I seem to recall that when the library was first opened, this open space was occupied by a pendulum but I don’t recall when it was removed, assuming I’m not a victim of my imagination.
