o At the library: BAPL's Hanley Collection boasts many international-theme titles and subjects; today, however, the preface to Memorable Balls (edited by James Laver, illustrated by Derek Verschoyle c. 1954) gives some indication that the themes may have been inspired by a mucousal-artifact oracle-bead chronicle, "...it is a significant fact that nearly all "memorable balls" of history have taken the form of some kind of masquerade...". The content-imagery preserved within the oracle-bead artifact is often layered as categories of memories and/or 'shades' of significant others viewable within the waxy/gel orb, all near-microscopic size.
