As I was looking for an image of a loaded wagon to symbolize the blog move, I realized that in my mind I had pictured a wagon moving from left to right, in the direction of writing. Among the search results, Rijksmuseum Studio had two mirror-image pictures by Géricault representing a coal wagon (1822). I decided to follow the one riding to the left, against my apparently deeply ingrained idea of where coal should go. And so Miseries of Scholars are, too, moving further to the left. See you there.
