These exquiste, lithographs are from "Album of Pomologie", published in Brussels, 1847-1850.
This work is truly a pomological rarity as there are only three complete copies.

Animated Flowers!
Grandville's Les Fleurs Animées of 1847 slyly turn florally-attired women into colorful cautionary tales. Particularly love the tippling tit (or is that swigging sparrow?) in the grapevine illustration!

Study of a Dodo and a Guinea-pig, 1847.
Artist; Charlotte Augusta Spencer-Churchill
I love the Dodo, have done so since I saw a reconstruction of one during a school visit to a local museum.
I like to imagine that these two pals had some grand adventures.
For @museumbums who were wrongly locked out of twitter for an art bum as their bio pic, we have a male nude (he's posed as a sculptor) by Ford Madox Brown, 1847. With a great art bum we're sure you'll agree! Do give @museumbums a follow if you don't already! 🍑
Thawing Weather, 1887
By the American painter of German origin Theodore Clement Steele (T. C. Steele), (1847- 1926)
This is La Ghirlandata and Veronica Veronese Alexa Wilding (1847-1884) the model and Rossetti painter. She was his model and muse and there are more paintings of her than Elizabeth Siddall, Jane Morris or Fanny Cornforth. I didn’t know that!
