THE POWER OF THE INTERNET

Jørgen Sømod of Denmark writes: "A couple of weeks ago,
I asked on another list about a picture of the Boulton Watt
mint machine. One hour later came an answer with a link to
a web site showing that machine. But the quality of the
picture was too bad for me. However, it was on the site
told, that the picture was taken from a booklet issued by
British Museum after an original in The Saturday Magazine
1836. After surfing a few minutes, I found an antiquarian
in a little town in England, who would sell that magazine for
£20. It came today. A wonderful original print in a thick
book with many other fun and interesting prints for nearly
nothing. It would not have been possible without the Internet."
