Allegra Frazier

Allegra made this fantastic card by placing one of her signature illustrations on "Cassell's history of the war between France and Germany." She pointed out that the grand tour coincided with 250+ years of grand, continent-wide warfare in Europe. The juxtapositions for this card were especially rewarding in very crowded tourist destinations.
Allegra's Card

I felt Allegra's card fit perfectly with couples trying to take selfies by the Eiffel Tower. I left Allegra's card by the Mona Lisa in the Louvre because it obviously fit. I immediately thought of Allegra's card when I visited the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe today because after sitting and watching people interact with the site I realized it's very odd that the first thing people tend to do at this huge memorial is take selfies (you can see two dudes doing just this in the background)- many, many selfies. I've seen so many of these selfies on hook-up apps-Grindr, Tindr, etc. so strange.
