"Storybooks through the Ages" Mural

























Today we found this wonderful mural high near the ceiling of the children's section of the Torrington library. It contains illustrations representing over fifty books and landmarks of Torrington. This wonderful artwork was made by Marc Stolfi painting from a scaffold in the wee hours of the morning alone, some times concerned about things that went bump in the night when he was there alone.

This is an amazing tribute that we were glad we happened across and ironically, later in the day we met the artist at Coe Park. We shared with him, George's special experience being alone at night in an old library when he was cleaning (there is an older blog about that). I was glad that we got to personally tell Marc how much we liked his mural.



Here is the rest of the mural. See how many stories and landmarks you can find, if you are willing.
































Here are the list of the stories and landmarks in the mural. You will probably have to enlarge the picture to read it. We highly recommend a visit to the Torrington Library to check this out.
