- "Amerikanischen Postwagen" (American Stage Coach, 1800-1810), Lithograph, circa 1815 - Stage wagons were light and open, though not as comfortable as later Concord stagecoaches. They could go about five miles per hour, barring bad weather or road obstructions. The gaily painted signboards of roadside taverns beckoned weary travelers, promising rest, meals, and a chance to catch up on news. Stage wagon drivers used the stop to care for their horses.

- "Nude is Not a Color" Quilt, Made by Hillary Goodwin, Rachael Dorr, and Contributors from around the World, 2017 - Fashion and cosmetics companies have long used the term nude for products made in a pale beige--reflecting lighter skin tones and marginalizing people of color. After one company repeatedly dismissed a customer's concerns, a global community of quilters produced this quilt to oppose this racial bias. To create the shirt designs, the women chose fabric that best represented their own skin tones.
