#goodmorning with an old favourite: Wallter Crane's 1872 watercolour, "A Herald of Spirng" with cherry blossom, daffs or primroses in the basket and unusually low-flying birds! https://t.co/l4uMLoVAKW
#sweetdreams! "A Golden Day Dream" by Emily Mary Osborn, 1828-1925. #womensart https://t.co/0dpwsuw1uD
#goodmorning! #Didyouknow that @PunchBooks cartoonist Charles Keene also painted a spectacular scene like this? Here he is in a self-portrait, at his easel. https://t.co/TmOmiv8lt0
Isn't the sunlight brilliant here? John Frederick Lewis's The Arab Scribe, Cairo (1852). Could do with some exotic scenes! https://t.co/j13AtYSgt9

Died #OTD 1900 at Brantwood, his home in the Lake District, John #Ruskin, whose influence in many spheres can never be over-estimated https://t.co/Oaab6lKM5u
Max Beerbohm's caricature of #OscarWilde in America, carrying a lily and wearing knickerbockers: "Rossetti's name was heard in America." Wilde first went there when he was 27, & was a great hit there. https://t.co/noiH3FSyRX
"Waiting and Watching" by Henry Stacy Marks, 1854 -- hoping for a calm resolution, and for something to go right at last. Enough of high drama! https://t.co/m5IJjKPEPN
Barkis drives David Copperfield to Yarmouth, asking him to tell Peggoty that he's willing. "Is that all the message?" David asks. "'Ye–es,' he said, considering. 'Ye–es; Barkis is willin'." And he was (& so was she!). Harold Copping's 1924 illustration: https://t.co/h7w0DJiYnC
