Day 17: #harmony #seasonsreadings2017

An illustration from Chapter Sixteen: Medieval Persia. The caption reads, "The beginning of our modern orchestra. Jongleurs improvising a little concert while waiting for their dinner to get ready in the kitchen."

The Arts was originally #publishedinthe1930s. Underneath the tattered jacket of my edition is a #bare cover with a debossed image that I can't quite make sense of. Van Loon often speaks directly to the reader as a #firstpersonnarrator and manages to dedicate nearly 700 Pages to #nonreadingpursuits.
