Author and illustrator Maira Kalman took a trip to Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson and was moved to write a travelogue. But this is no ordinary travelogue. Kalman writes about Jefferson’s life and philosophy as well as his home, with whimsical pictures that drawn you in to her experience. Link -via Everlasting Blort

Maira is a terrific illustrator, she also did paintings for an edition of The Elements of Style.

She was married to Tibor Kalman, a rather famous graphic designer known for his visual wit.
