Walter Crane’s Victorian Bluebeard was forbidding and terrifying. Yet it was also embroidered with neoclassicism, Morris’ influence, & the Arts & Crafts movement’s love of tapestries, old manuscripts, medievalism, &…peacocks -if you can spot them ☺️🦚🗝#FairyTaleTuesday
Featuring an array of fascinating illustrations from the British Library’s rich medieval collection, Cats in Medieval Manuscripts includes anecdotes about cats – both real and imaginary – to provide a fascinating picture of the life of the cat in the medieval world.
Another book cover art for "The Whispering Dark" from Kelly Andrew. One of my favorite parts about book cover gigs is reading manuscripts, before the book is out. And man, I just inhaled this one 🖤.

The link between this festival and Xiuhtecuhtli, with its plea for divine aid for plant and human growth, is made in several codices/manuscripts written after the Spanish Conquest. Not just children but trees and plants were also stretched to make them grow more speedily. #Nfts
