Oxford isn’t the oldest university, not by a long shot. India’s Nalanda University had already operated for hundreds of years and been burnt down by invaders before Oxford got its act together. But Oxford, as one of the oldest universities in continuous operation, doesn’t feel that old. It’s a product of our time. You can still enroll at Oxford. You can still go to Merton College.
The Aztec civilization of central Mexico, on the other hand, feels like ancient history. Archaeologists dig up Aztec ruins, museums put on Aztec exhibits. But the origination of the Aztec civilization, marked by the founding of the city of Tenochtitlán by the Mexica at Lake Texcoco, didn’t come until 1325. Tenochtitlán was captured by Spanish conquerors in 1521, just 196 years later. The White House has been standing longer than the Aztecs ruled Tenochtitlán.
None of this is intended to pit civilizations against each other. But it’s an interesting way to think about how skewed our understanding of history really is—we have these timelines in our heads that are distorted and compressed, and they don’t always agree with reality. To get a clearer picture of how the world really works, sometimes it helps to keep things in context.
The Wizard of Oz Book. Hardcover. 1980. By L. Frank Baum. 220 pages
A Classic!
This cool old copy has been loved, there is some shelf wear, a previous own name written on first page, a kid scribbled on & tore out two blank pages at the rear of the book. There are few tiny stains/ from coffee maybe? Its an as-is copy. Priced accordingly.
It sounds worse than it is because I listed the flaws. But I love wabi sabi vintage items- its authentic, and you know it had a good life so far being read and enjoyed. I would still add it to your collection if you collect wizard of oz books.

Nick Joerling Plate. NC Potter. Ceramic Artist. HighFire WheelThrown.
About 9 inch diameter, almost 2 inch high.
Signed by artist.
Green accent glaze is probably in the Oribe family. Glossy. The main glaze ls probably in the Spogamene (sp?) glaze family & a smooth matte surface.
Purchased around 2000 directly from the artist studio in Penland North Carolina. High fire stoneware, with his signature glazes & decorative techniques & other surface style.
Great for your ceramic collection, from modern ceramic usa based artists. A great example piece for educators. Ceramic Artists make a limited amount of work, have a unique & evolving style, making this a valuable piece. A plate stand, either collapsible metal/coated or wooden ones are traditional for displaying plates.
This has a hairline crack that is not obvious, but can be heard if a light fingernail tap/flick is done to the edge of the plate. This fingernail flick is a technique potters use to tell if a piece ‘rings’ ‘pings’ or has a muted sound indicating a breach in the piece. This plate can be used, but it is a better piece for display. It is a truly beautiful, lightweight plate. It can go in the microwave & dishwasher.
Packaged with great care!
You can bundle with a soft item like clothing, but its preferable to ship solo.

From my great aunt from Ohio. I was lucky enough to be gifted many of her 1920’s- 1950’s special belongings which are now rare collectibles. For several decades I have carefully kept, protected and enjoyed her pieces in my art collections.
This photo (and others in my listings) are original & should be carefully handled & kept- if you decide to display it, please protect it behind UV shielding glass. Consult with a antiques specialist or museum if you need to know more about how to preserve this American history gem.
