    Read about Prof. Michael Gamer's database of historical playbills, created with Scott Enderle of the Price Lab for Digital Humanities, himself a PhD from our department. “What else can playbills tell us other than what they are designed to tell us?”... omnia.sas.upenn.edu/story/prospect…

    Just a gorgeous set of doors @Penn, photographed two ways. These doors lead into Fisher Fine Arts Library, one of the 19 locations in the @upennlib network.
    A black-and-white photograph of a pair of double doors. The top half of the doors have an intricate stained glass design with the words "talkers are no great doers" in block lettering.

    Spring 2023 begins today @Penn! Wishing everyone a wonderful first day of classes as our new semester officially kicks off 📓📚💻
    Photograph of Fisher-Bennett Hall, a brick building with a magnificent set of wooden double doors and a brick path leading up to them. The photo highlights one large and leafless tree in front of the building, with the tree's spindly branches obscuring the facade somewhat.

    Fisher-Bennett Hall looking gorgeous as ever 🥰
    Photograph of wooden double-doors with iron details. A transom window and lantern hover over the door, and red bricks surround the door's frame.

    Just a lovely photo of Locust Walk from the 6th floor of Van Pelt (@upennlib) 🍃🍂🍁
    A photograph of Locust Walk from a 6th-floor vantage point nearby. The Split Button sculpture is visible in the lower left, while College Hall is in the background, with lots of yellow and orange leaves on top of the trees taking up the majority of the image.

    Gorgeous photo of Fisher Fine Arts Library to start your week off right 📚🤩
    The interior of Fisher Fine Arts Library at Penn, with rows of wooden tables—topped with small reading lamps—spread throughout a space built in elaborate brick and stone design work. In the center of the space, separating the front of the library from the back, is a wall with two arches cut out; the reading tables and lamps extend all the way from the front of the photo through those arches to the back wall.
