Special items
Galaxies NGC 1097 with Fractal Overlay--
Design by Mills. The main photo is a computer-enhanced image of two galaxies known as NGC 1097. Photo was originally taken by Jean L. Lorre, JPL and Palomar Observatory, CIT and is found on the inside back endsheet of the book The National Geographic Picture Atlas of Our Universe by Roy A. Gallant (Washington: National Geography Service, 1980).
The overlay is a portion of a computer-produced fractal image found in Michael Barnsley's text, Fractals Everywhere (San Diego: Academic Press, 1988), page 244, Plate 8.4.4. Minor creative modifications have been made to both images.
Walker Percy Design Image--
Design by Herb Yellin, Lord John Press, from "Diagnosing the Modern Malaise" (Faust Publishing, 1985); original photo courtesy of Rhoda K. Faust.
Worldviews in Revolution Collage--
Design by Mills. The central photo is of the Pleiades star cluster as found in Color Plate Q in the text The Evolving Universe: An Introduction to Astronomy by Donald Goldsmith (Menlo Park: Benjamin Cummings, 1981). Picture printed in Goldsmith by courtesy of Palomar Observatory, CIT, photographer unknown.
The Egyptian cosmos sketch comes from page 10 of Space by Anthony Feldman (New York: Aldus Books, 1980) and is printed there courtesy of Ann Ronan Picture Library.
The original hand-written picture of Copernicus' solar system and the title from Einstein's Theory of Relativity paper are both from Alan Lightman, Ancient Light: Our Changing View of the Universe (Cambridge: Harvard UP, 1991), pages 10 and 16 respectively. The former is printed in Lightman courtesy of the Royal Astronomical Society, while the credit listing for the latter is unlisted.
The photo of Newton's Principia title page is from the text Exploration of the Universe, 5th ed. by George O. Abell et al (New York: Saunders College Publishing, 1987), page 48. It is printed there courtesy of University of Oklahoma Libraries.
The photo of Newton's solar system is from page 12 of Gerhard Staguhn's God's Laughter: Man and His Cosmos (New York: HarperCollins, 1992). The drawing is William Whiston's and is published in Staguhn courtesy of the University College, London.
The yellow/blue fractal overlay is again from Michael Barnsley (1988, above), coming from Plate 8.4.3 as also found on page 244.
Creative modifications have been made throughout the composite image for illustrative purposes.
Walker Percy: An Interactive Allegorical Portait--
Image design by Jim Janknegt and Henry Mills; Art by Janknegt (1996); indescript collage pieces incorporated from Internet resources.
"Hope and Glory" (inspired by The Moviegoer)--
Painting by Jim Janknegt

THE WALKER PERCY PROJECT aims to become the most readily accessible and comprehensive, up-to-date resource on the American writer it has as its subject, if not also, in the long run, to serve as a model for similar future humanities projects dedicated to literary figures and the scholarship about them. The project is 501(c)3 non-profit tax exempt.
