Cathy Rosamund Stillman-Loweさんのイラストまとめ

Some symbolism here @Portaspeciosa - I don't remember seeing a Tree of Jesse quite like this before. It's a beautiful illustration; I'm intrigued by the little bird in the centre of the rose.

"Virga Yesse significat Mariam"

(Paris, Arsenal, Ms-593 reserve f.6)

So many beautiful details in this illustration, from the foliage on the trees to the flowing water, with shells.

And lastly, some super graphic design, courtesy of Irene Fawkes, for the Underground Electric Railway Company Ltd, 1928. #1June2022

Sweet bird that shunn'st the noise of folly,
Most musical, most melancholy!

by John Milton

I feel that when church-crawling in pursuit of snowdrops, I should perhaps at least try to dress the part.

Charming 1890 pantomime costume design by Wilhelm (Charles William Pitcher, 1858-1925). V and A.

#OwlishMonday How graceful is this Voysey owl? Almost impossibly lovely, especially when my eye takes in those tubby acorns. A Voysey squirrel cannot be far away!
