17. Had they ever been? Archaeological finds show a well-populated landscape throughout the Anglo-Saxon period. The ‘loneliness of the wide wilderness’ seems after all to have described an internal, religious mentality rather than the actual landscape.

Daily bunny no.742 makes a discovery!
(A commission from @Kick_Spirit who had the excellent idea of bunnies on an archaeological dig)
Very happy about how much field sketching I got to do visiting Ireland - it also taught me:
1) Architectural drawing is hard (ruins are better)
2) Stone and veg are hard too. Everything is hard
3) Me saying "I'll do a quick one" is always a lie

Before Beatrix Potter became a famous illustrator for children she studied archaeological finds. Her watercolours include finds from the Bucklersbury excavations,1872. The drawings are impressive in accuracy & beauty.

N is for...neoclassical dress! Neoclassical dress was a rejection of Rococo fashion and style. Simplicity and regularity in design was favoured in comparison to Rococo, inspired by archaeological excavation and a renewed interest and love for classical art and architecture. 1/3
