Just 4 days left of our exhibition 'The Passions of Richard Dadd Revisited'. Dadd’s sketches on the passions, completed while in Bethlem in the 1850s, provides comment on the human condition that is insightful, empathetic & cryptic, all at the same time. https://t.co/D0tLqXZvDN

prompt 2: Historical AU

Tho I've done a few sketches tonight, I sat down at my tablet quite late. So I did what I know I can do relatively quickly - historical fashion paperdolls.

Anyway, I figured if my Salad Family AU is 1830s, Caoimhe would grow up in the 1850s!
