As I mentioned in my last, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of Webster's Third on Wednesday evening at our meeting in Montreal, and DSNA member Christopher Devine has obliged with a handsome photo of the cake pre-slicing--I arrived too late (for photos, I hasten to add, not for eating):
Christopher also sent along a shot of the conference program/poster, which Lise Winer brilliantly designed from a word-cloud taken from the Index to Sidney Landau's Dictionaries:
As well as a clever faux-title page for his own instructive talk on "The first English dictionary: Robert Cawdrey and the myth of creation":
Many thanks to Christopher, and I encourage everyone else to contribute photos to illustrate further reports.
