Welcome

Welcome to The Vanished Hand. I'm starting with a very broad focus for this blog: art flicking splinters of light into the dark spaces of the past. A jukebox of ghosts. A collage of the old, weird world exposing the avant-garde alchemy of history. My particular interest is American history from the Civil War through the Great Depression, but this will by no means be limited to that. I'm hoping this space will take on a life of its own and dictate its own direction. We'll see.
