Carmel
Carmel is a microcosm of California's architectural heritage, sited at one of the most scenic meetings of land and sea in the world. Mission San Carlos Borromeo became a root building for California's first regional building style, the Mission Revival. "Carmel City," as it was called in the 1880s, was marketed as a seaside resort for Catholics. Its pine-studded sand dunes survived the imposition of a standard American gridiron street pattern, with a Western, false-front main street, to become "Carmel-by-the-Sea."

In the mid-1920s, Tudor Revival and Spanish Romantic Revival styles enhanced the storybook quality of the community. Carmel's architectural character is primarily the product of working builders. Its design traditions have been interpreted and modified for modern times by noted architects, building designers, and craftsmen. Individual expression continues as an ongoing aesthetic theme.
Color Woodcut International
Color woodcut printmaking was not new to Britain, America, or Japan in the late eighteenth century.

Likewise, Japanese audiences and artists were intrigued by the styles and techniques of western art, which was broadly available in Japan by the end of the nineteenth century. Artists there created images of the strange foreigners and imagined what American cities looked like. By the beginning of the twentieth centur...
El gran general
En el siglo XIX apareció en la Nueva Granada un personaje único que vistió arreos de general, de diplomático, de hacendado, de iconoclasta en su natal Popayán. Con la naturalidad con que respiraba los aires de Coconuco, una de sus haciendas en el Gran Cauca, se paseaba con su amante ostentosamente en el Central Park de Nueva York o, sigilosamente, por las recámaras del Palacio Presidencial; visitaba a su prima emperatriz de Francia, Eugenia, o decidía cuándo llegaba la hora de ser nuevamente el presidente de la Nueva Granada: ese fue el gran general Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera, una de las figuras más importantes del acontecer político colombiano que estableció los cimientos de la nación que surgía con dificultades de las guerras de Independencia del Imperio Español.
