Marks is Pentagram’s latest book that showcases 400 symbols, logos, and identities that the firm has designed (or re-designed) between 1962 and today. The 400 symbols are laid out on 800 pages of French-folded bible paper and bound in a red cloth-covered softback cover.
The book is being printed in only a limited quantity of 1000, so if you want it, you better reserve a copy now at Amazon.com (Pentagram Marks: 400 Symbols & Logotypes

Peter, a slave who has been whipped by his overseer, taken April 2, 1863. Photo credit unknown.
I saw some images of slavery and slave houses in the LIFE archives (hosted by Google) and I just couldn’t figure out how any person could have convinced themselves that treating another living being this way was the right thing to do. To whip somebody so much and so hard that their back is covered in welts that criss-cross every which way? That’s crazy!
Anyway, I believe this separate but similar photo is also of Peter, but with hair (presumably taken the same day).
