Humor. A book of my grandmother Catharine's that I illustrated and set to the music of Sousa that came out the same year as her book, 1908. Catharine was the first female newspaper publisher in Colorado, and the daughter of General Henry L. Burnett. Her earlier book, "Moods and Tenses," is in the Special Collections of Brown University.

I illustrated her book with old postcards, and this video shows some of the aphorisms from "Hot Shots." Definitely humor.
