The weather forecaster needs a continuous record, day and night, in all kinds of weather, of conditions in the upper air.

In the upper right hand corner Medievalist Cranach appended his moral: Dum Puer Alveola Furatur Mella Cupido, Furanti Digit um Cuspite Ficit Apis. Sic Etiam Nobis Brevis et Peritura Voluptas Quam Petimus Tristi Mixta Dolore Nocet.* Because of the retreat of many of the best early paintings, the show leans heavily on the mystical 19th Century Romantics...
