Bit of this for a week. Ta-ra.
'By the Sea', Horace Hughes Stanton (1842-1914) in London Society Holiday No., 1871, in @AberArtSchool collection.
'A Cake for Fame', illustration by William S Brunton for a piece by Andrew Halliday in London Society Xmas No., 1868. #cake #pantomime
For #burnsnight2022 To a Mouse, On Turning Her up in Her Nest with the Plough, November 1785: 'I’m truly sorry man’s dominion,/Has broken nature’s social union,/An’ justifies that ill opinion,/Which makes thee startle/At me...'
(The Harvest Mouse by Joseph Wolf, Once a Week 1861)
For #FolkloreThursday a right pair of #antiheroes 'Samson' [and Delilah] by Arthur Boyd Houghton in Sunday Magazine 1869. Perhaps with a bit more honesty, maybe some mediation and a light trim, it could have ended happily – at worst playing practical jokes on each other on TikTok
For #FolkoreThursday #food ‘Les oeuvres de miséricorde’, engr. by Jacques Philippe le Bas, after David Teniers the Younger, 1747 in @AberArtSchool colls. Giving bread and quenching thirst - two of the Seven Acts of Mercy. Also: Clothing, Sheltering, Burying, Visiting & Liberating
'An #AprilFool' by ‘A H’, illus. by Adelaide Claxton in London Society Vol.5 1864. A recently bereaved & brazen Mrs Honiton, strides out, turns heads and 'worse than all, she wore so natty and retiring a widow's cap, that you could scarcely detect that emblem of her bereavement'.
For #FolkloreThursday @FolkloreThurs 'A Lazy Fellow' by Francis Sylvester Walker (1848-1916) in Once a Week Vol.1, 1868. Laziness and indolence – symptoms of the deadly #sin Sloth, or Acedia. Mind you, looks dead comfy.
Here @AberArtSchool & @Aberceramics we hold work by over 320 women artists but we continue to try to redress the balance.
Celebrating #InternationalWomensDay here are 4 of 41 startling, visceral prints by @m_hanselaar purchased in 2019 with funding from @V_and_A & @artfund
Mae'r myfyriwr PhD Veronica Calarco wedi treulio 5 mlynedd yn gwneud gwaith ar gyfer arddangosfa yr ydym wedi'i gosod yn ddiogel @YsgolGelfaber. Ni fwriadwyd erioed i 'Mae hwn yn rhybudd iaith!' fod yn wefan, ond am nawr gallwch weld ei gwaith yma: https://t.co/TZKqWwaQMY
For #FolkloreThursday 'The Lord of Nann and the #Fairy (From the Breton)' by Tom Taylor, illustration by Edward Henry Corbould in Once a Week Vol.1, 1859.
Led by a white hind to the 'Corrigaun' and his doom.
