Wonderful stuff! The Library of Congress has just released more than 10,000 digitized 78s from the Victor Talking Machine Company as a National Jukebox. The recordings are lovely and crackly, as if you’re listening on a gramaphone.

Happy Birthday, John Milton
Best known for Paradise Lost, John Milton was a poet, author, polemicist and civil servant born on December 9, 1608.
The 1860 Collier edition of Paradise Lost includes some beautiful illustrations by Gustave Doré too. Well worth a look!
There are also over 1,000 books about Milton in Open Library, if you’re interested to read critically about him.
