- Elliott Hickory Bicycle, circa 1890 - Many women in the late 19th century wanted to ride bicycles. But mounting a high-wheel ordinary was difficult, especially in a period dress -- and donning athletic attire or bloomers for some was considered socially unacceptable. The safety bicycle changed that. This drop-frame safety allowed women to mount the bicycle easily and accommodated the dresses worn by riders.

- Andrew Carnegie Bookplate, circa 1915 - Bookplates show ownership, but they can also tell us more. Often pasted on the inside of a book's front cover or endpaper, these printed labels contain the owner's name and sometimes the words "ex-libris" (Latin for "from the library of"). Coats of arms, crests, other decorative images, poems, mottoes, and even font type provide insight into the beliefs, passions, and interests of the book's owner.
