					<description><![CDATA[New York City in 1980 had a look that can be surprisingly difficult to picture today. The buildings are familiar, the streets are recognizable, and the crowds move with the same hurried energy, yet the details belong unmistakably to another time. Cars from another generation line the curbs, shop signs have different names, and people [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Before September 11, 2001, popular culture had already imagined many of the images that would later become permanently associated with that date. Movies, television shows, comic books, advertisements, music videos, magazine covers, and other forms of media occasionally featured the World Trade Center alongside airplanes, explosions, burning buildings, or scenes of destruction. Some of these [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In the 1930s, caring for people with mental illness in the United States was largely centered on large state hospitals, where patients could remain for months, years, or sometimes much of their lives. These institutions were designed to provide housing, medical supervision, and psychiatric care on a scale that smaller hospitals and community services could [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[At the beginning of the 20th century, ideas about heredity and human improvement were being presented as modern science. Across Britain, the United States, and other industrialized countries, eugenics gained supporters who believed society could be improved by encouraging some people to have children while discouraging or preventing others from reproducing.

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.
