This is Cool!

I love the Smithsonian. Look what they just came out with:

Eighty years after the Scopes Monkey Trial, a trove of about 60 unpublished photos from the landmark case has been found in Smithsonian Institution archives, including a shot of Clarence Darrow's courtroom sparring with William Jennings Bryan.

Among them is one of Darrow, the most famous defense attorney of his day, interrogating Bryan, the orator and presidential candidate prosecuting the case. The trial had been moved outdoors because of the heat. Bryan fell ill and died five days after the trial ended.

Here's a link to the Darrow/Bryan shot in question. It's grainy but still impressive.
