The banner (shown at left) is a collage of hermits. On top is a wood engraving of a Benedictine monk of Mexico from the pages of the Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies at Latrobe University. The middle is from John James Audubon’s watercolor of a Hermit Thrush from Birds of America. (The original, I believe, is owned by the New York Historical Society.) Finally, at bottom is an image of an Alaskan Hermit Crab.
