Iconography updates

 

detail durer's graveBecause of the amount of info I have been posting about iconography, I have finally added iconography as a separate menu item on the site. Included there is a link to the Trombone History Timeline (which has more than 1,100 images), an interactive Google map plotting trombone iconography pre-1800 (color coded by century), and two separate pages of serpent and ophicleide iconography: 1600-1850, and 1851-present. Soon I’ll also add a separate map plotting trombone iconography in sacred settings. And of course the blog posts categorized as “trombone images” will discuss a lot of the most interesting iconography updates on the site.
