O carte senzațională, de aproape 500 de pagini, în care istoria românilor, inclusiv cea spirituală, este tratată în contextul geo-politic mereu schimbător al răsăritului european. Nu lipsesc din cartea lui James O. Noyes, Roumania / The border land of the Christian and the Churk, New York, 1858, informațiile despre cântecele poporane, datină, tradiții sau despre „doinas” (pp. 178-181 și, respectiv, 234-236), așa cum nu lipsesc nici despre lăutari, sosirea țiganilor în Moldova fiind datată, cu probe, în 1417 (p. 135). Iar în privința desenelor vechi, unul dintre ele, cel cu imaginea hanului lui Manouk Bey este semnat, deci știm că datorăm acea secvență de memorie pictorului Lossing-Barett.

O nouă colecţie: PHOTO ROMANIA
*
Pentru că ştiu unde pot găsi circa 10.000 de mărturii iconografice despre România şi despre istoria ei, am decis să înfiinţez, drept colecţie, o nouă categorie (rubrică), în care să adun, cinstind în felul meu Centenarul Unirii, mai tot ce există prin lume ca mărturie neştiută despre neamul şi ţara mea. Aici, doar vestesc rubrica şi, deci, colecţia, în care nu voi face comentarii, ci doar voi da reperele cărţii, ziarului sau agenţiei de presă de la care am preluat imagini, precum cea de mai sus, aflată pe frontispiciul cărţii Roumania; yesterday and to-day at bay, de Winifred Gordon, apărută la Londra şi la New York în martie 1918, deci cu vreo două luni înainte de pacea de la Bucureşti, pe când încă se mai murea, deşi nimeni nu mai putea visa o România Mare.
