Part II: The Illustrated "Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". Chapters 8 thru 15.  

A PREAMBLE CONCERNNG THE /\ABOVE/\ THOTO =>
July 14, 1968, Montana Hall, Montana State College, Bozeman, MT.

…In Chapter 13 of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, the ZMM Narrator in Montana Hall says =>

"I open one more door, compulsively. There on the wall I see something that sends a spine-tingling feeling along my neck” …. [It is a Photograph of => ]
"...the print, Feininger’s 'Church of the Minorites,' had an appeal to him that was irrelevant to the art in that its subject, a kind of Gothic cathedral, created from semiabstract lines and planes and colors and shades, seemed to reflect his mind’s vision of the Church of Reason and that was why he’d put it here. All this comes back now. This was his old office. A find. This is the room I am looking for!"

*************

The /\Above/\, Is Such A GREAT Photo! .... Which Shows A View Of The SAME Office Room As Robert Pirsig’s Office, Mentioned In Above ZMM Passage => ". This was his old office."
We see Sarah Vinke's old-timey telephone, and how Sarah Vinke is dressed, and how she has organized her desk!!
...ALSO, at upper left, we see the woodwork of a corner of the ZMM Narrator's "a miserable cramped window".
And top center we can faintly discern, the corner of the room, which tells us, just how
Sarah’s desk fit jam-close to the corner wall of her office, back then, about 1946. Most likely in Montana Hall, of Montana State College.

NOTE: In the /\ABOVE/\ Photo, you see that Sarah is sitting on the near side of her desk. Please notice that => This is contrary to what was mentioned in the PREVIOUS Pohto, where you read that => Sarah was seated BEHIND her desk, on the far side.
