For 4th July, I share this lovely American Autochrome from 1910, capturing a woman darning the US flag (which, at the time, only had 46 stars, as there were only 46 US States). It was taken in colour 116 years ago by Mrs B Russell, using an early colour glass plate process. It isn't colourised.

Before delivery trucks, one department store ran Chicago with 700 horses and 400 wagons. Marshall Field’s delivery wagons lined Holden Court at the State Street store in 1897. At its peak, the company’s horse-drawn delivery network covered roughly 350 square miles—turning retail logistics into a citywide machine long before the age of vans.

Cedric Morris had begun painting seriously in 1919, and his work was included in group exhibitions in Rome, Germany, and New York before his first solo exhibition in 1928. 'From a Window at 45 Brook Street, London,' was painted two years earlier, in 1926.

Denys from Ukraine @GlushkoDenys

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day, America! The only time I visited the United States, more than two years ago, I was struck by the scale and greatness of this country. Not only by its cities, roads, universities, or institutions, but by the feeling of a nation that knows how to think in big categories: freedom, responsibility, leadership. At that time, it was also clear how much the United States was doing for Ukraine in concrete actions: military aid, political support, attention to our struggle, and a belief that Ukraine’s fight matters far beyond Ukraine itself. A lot has changed since then. America has changed. Ukraine has changed. The world around us has changed. And in 2026, there is a strong feeling that new changes are ahead. 250 years ago, Americans fought for the right to be free and to decide their own future. Today, Ukrainians are fighting for the same principle – against an empire that still believes it can decide the fate of other nations. Our histories are different. But the idea is the same: freedom is never guaranteed forever.

'Man Sleeping on a Train,' was painted Gywn Evans in 1951 and shown at that year's New Contemporaries show. It was through these shows (an idea of the artist Carel Weight) that Pop Art, especially the work of David Hockney, first attracted the attention of the general public.

A computer store window, West Germany, 1984. Tandy TRS-80 machines lined the display, reflecting a time when personal computers were still new enough to be admired from the street.
