The Middle of Nowhere
Where the phrase comes from · Card no. 4009
American, from the middle of the 1800s, when nowhere meant the unmapped interior. The middle of it was the deepest point of the empty part, and a journey there was measured in days rather than miles.
No such place exists, which has never stopped anyone from going. Every card here is an original painting of a phrase, free to send by email or by link.
