Saints and Martyrs in a Sixth Avenue Antiquities Drawer
A New York Times report outlines a basement dealer in literary antiquities who stored a drawer labeled The Saints and Martyrs Selected with Care. The shop, 12 steps below ground, houses engravings of St. Eustache, St. Crispin, St. Laurent, St. Louis, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Pierre, St. Thomas d Aquin, and St. Dastan. The dealer notes profits from lending copies and supplying jewelers, printers, and designers, citing a St. Patrick Society commission as a turning point in his pursuit of rare saints engravings.

Saturn at perihelion Promises Rare Celestial View
The Providence Journal notes Saturn reaches perihelion on October 21 at seven in the morning. It recalls Saturn’s 29 year cycle since the last similar event, its 5 billion mile voyage, and its closer solar distance by 100 million miles than 15 years ago. It highlights Earth’s near alignment, potential ninth moon, and the humbling grandeur of astronomy as planets evolve, with a long arc of time ahead.
