  Ruins in Charleston, South Carolina, fromPhotographic Views ofSherman's Campaign byGeorge N. Barnard, restored byAdam Cuerden, one of our new featured pictures.

Not much to say this week. I rushed it a bit, but, y'know. One does what one can. Frompast experience, if a featured content item isn't published, it's just spiked; none of the content in it ever gets mentioned in theSignpost and the next issue just carries on with the next batch of content.^[1]

Probably best to avoid that.
