WATERY WEDNESDAY - A WOODCUT PRINT LOST IN THE MAIL...

Mailed in March 2011 in a 2"x30" tube...to NEW SOUTH WALES, Australia 

When sending small packages abroad, it would seem that the USPS can no longer track mail, and that it is up to the Australian PS to track incoming mail, or to return it to the sender if misaddressed.  So far, I have had no news on the whereabouts of this package!

The 'SHAKERS' originated in England, (Members of The Millenial Church) in the middle of the 18th century.
They came to the U.S  in 1774 advocating celibacy, common ownership of property, and a strict, simple way of life. They performed a ritualistic dance with shaking movements,  became known as the SHAKERS.  Chairs hung
on the wall is an example of how they would store chairs.
