Bialy photo: thanks to all



Thanks to everyone who wrote with suggestions on how to
find a bialy bakery photo.  My patron gave me permission to post her
name:  it's Mimi Sheraton, who will be publishing a book called "The Bialy
Eaters: The Story of a Bread and a Lost World" in September.

Some great places to look for photos were suggested, including:
Online photo archives:  Corbis, AP (which charges for a search)
Polish museums and cultural insitutions in America
Libraries:  American Jewish Archives; New York Public Library; Library of
           Congress
Roman Vishniac's family (photographer)
Warsaw State Archives
--and others

Ms. Sheraton had tried most of these already, but there were a couple of
places she hadn't checked.  She is very appreciative of the assistance, and
asked me to convey her thanks to the list.

Thanks from me too--
Joy Kingsolver
