Hellebore of the Day. Sometimes I think the simple single blooms are the loveliest, and the doubles, ruffles etc are just too over-blown. Here, Mackintosh shows how less is more with the hellebore. @oneortwothings @sparklyredshoes (could you freeze one, and photograph it?)!
Tulips are magnificent flowers, and Gertrude Hermes portrays them superbly here. 1926 Wood-engraving on handmade Japan tissue. @oneortwothings @deborahjvass @ANGELACHARDING
It's Hellebore Heaven here. I have lots of these, but how they arrived is a mystery as no one planted them! Stinking Hellebore, 1927. From Paul Nash's book POISONOUS PLANTS. @ANGELACHARDING @DFRGEORGE @deborahjvass
1945 wood engraving by John O'Connor. Lots of interest in this scene, including some milk churns I think, and sculptural steam/smoke. From: The Golden Cockerel Press. @oneortwothings
