Thanks for highlighting these local artists and the injustice they suffered and that our Asian brethren unfortunately continue to suffer. I also enjoyed the etymology of the word score. I wonder how common its usage was when Lincoln used it

I agree - we must not forget this tragic history. Thank you for bringing attention to the work of these two artists; I'm grateful some of it's been preserved. Fun to see the then-and-now contrasts.

I especially appreciated the background of score. Ivan wrote about the counting of sheep. Carol Doig

This photo of the long and, toward the top, very steep Terrace Street steps shows why it was called Profanity Hill -- https://www.writesofway.org/terrace-street

Fun to see that image you have and to think about those steep stairs and language of those lawyers ascending the steps long ago.. Thanks.
