Jon Crispin's Notebook

Delmar had several leather cases which were distinguished by some lovely travel labels.

The Hotel Stella d’Italia & Aquila Nera in Bologna doesn’t seem to exist anymore.  One of the few online links I could find was here.

This was another one of his beautiful cases.

Sadly, this hotel doesn’t appear to be around anymore either.  Here is a link to a postcard that is for sale.

And I can’t begin to guess the relevance of Voltaire to the Republica Argentina.
