					<description><![CDATA[A drinking fountain marked “colored,” a segregated waiting room, or a sign separating public spaces by race could tell the story of an entire social system. During the Jim Crow era, these ordinary sights became symbols of a country where racial separation was woven into everyday routines, shaping where people could go, what services they [&#8230;]]]></description>

A cover was an artist&#8217;s first impression, a single image meant to stop browsers mid-flip and pull them toward the turntable. Between the 1970s and the 1990s, that impulse produced some genuinely brilliant design work, alongside a wave of album art [&#8230;]]]></description>

Vintage menswear advertisements from the 1970s are full of moments like this, and viewed through a 21st-century lens, [&#8230;]]]></description>

Ancient churches, medieval streets, Renaissance buildings, and traditional neighborhoods still stood largely untouched by the rapid changes that would come with mass tourism and modern development. A remarkable collection of Kodachrome photographs from 1956 offers a rare glimpse of [&#8230;]]]></description>

The 1930s transformed swimming from a rare luxury into a beloved national pastime, and with that shift came a wave of fashion innovation that still captures attention nearly a century [&#8230;]]]></description>
