Description
Towering shelves of books climb toward a coffered ceiling in this black and white photograph of the Cincinnati Public Library's interior, capturing the soaring verticality and architectural grandeur of a vast reading room. The intricate latticed overhead structure and densely packed volumes create a labyrinthine composition that speaks to the overwhelming abundance and sacred order of a grand public institution. Sewn from a durable canvas-like exterior with a soft lining and made to order, in three sizes up to one that fits a tablet. A catchall for toiletries, art supplies, or small electronics, carrying an independent artist's work instead of a plain zip bag.
