Edith Wharton, The House of Mirth

Viewers will be able to upload comments, identification, and historical information, helping scholars to solve some of the mysteries that remain in those thousands of mute negatives.”
Art…must do something more than give pleasure: it should relate to our own life so as to increase our energy of spirit.
