Lex Anteinternet: Sunday (Saturday) Morning Scene. Tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Sunday (Saturday) Morning Scene. Tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Juan Diego's tilma.

This week for our Sunday Morning Scene installment we again depart, as we did just recently, and include an image of something other than a church. As the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe is December 12, we're putting this up today, Saturday.

Our Lady of Guadalupe is a major Mexican holiday and, in those areas with a signficant Hispanic population, and indeed presently in many areas that do not have one, it's also a major Catholic feast day.

As a note, while it would be impossible to tell from an image of this type, the eyes in the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe depict the the reflection of thirteen people.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
