What we could all do with: "A Quiet Moment in the Shade" by James Paterson, 1884 https://t.co/zUnIY1AajQ (the young woman reading under the tree was probably his wife Eliza: they were on their honeymoon at this time)

Mr Mcgregor spies the enemy and chases him away (but not before Peter has managed to eat some french beans and lettuces!). Then Peter hides in a watering-can in the shed... Such goings-on!! https://t.co/CDsx9iFAU1

"Love is the magic that makes all things fair" Eleanor Vere Boyle, illustrating "Beauty and the Beast" (a dose of medievalism here!) https://t.co/hHQO48Q8te

Many of us are leaving home today, but only for shopping or to visit a loved one. This is Frank Holl's "Leaving Home" (1972)--the older man, the soldier with his sweetheart or wife, the young woman--where are they off to, with such pangs of sorrow.... ? https://t.co/wNUaS8kFyX

Interesting item on Dickens's original ms. of Oliver Twist in today's papers, pointing out that he toned down the violence in language as well as incident—but it's still so powerful (see Philip Allingham's long essay about the novel & its illustrators: https://t.co/Bobgw7iTgo)

Just what we need: "A Quiet Moment in the Shade," by the watercolourist James Paterson, 1884, inscribed "Richmond." He's thought to have been on his honeymoon then, so the woman in the foreground might be his new wife. (Thanks ) https://t.co/zUnIY1AajQ

Wondering about the future of teaching in 2020-21 academic year! This is Randolph Caldecott's view of teaching in 1885. Teacher writes on blackboard: "so she went into the garden to cut a cabbage leaf to make an applepie" (& look at the boy's drawing!!) https://t.co/4mhG51LBP6
