He looks more like a Pict (they appear in this story) than like a Cimmerian; to me at least. Lol.

Demon's Gate was also released in a trade edition with a Ken Kelly cover.

The story is one of my least favourite Green efforts.

Here is one last compare to end our today from Merian’s 'New Book of Flowers' (1680) & an embroidery pattern from Helm (c. 1725)

We'll be back tomorrow to explore needle paintings in the 18th & 19th c. featuring Angelica Kauffman - get excited!

Merian’s works were valued for their skilled depiction of bugs & flowers as well as their aesthetic, showing the versatility of her art & science to work as designs & serious science. Not sure many scientists can claim their work impacted decorative art so profoundly?#museumbuddy

We can compare Merian’s print to the floral embroidery on this c.1700 stomacher - thanks to my for finding this gorgeous example. I love how the spacing (maybe?) mimics the spacing on the page of Merian’s print.

This engraving from her 1680 ‘New Book of Flowers’ was promoted for botanical study, but Merian understood how it could & would be used as a pattern book if she made the prints pattern-like, transferable to textile.

Merian made ‘needle paintings’ & taught embroidery. So, when she began to work on paper she was primed to think how her works would translate across media. Her early compositions in print & drawing were also useful patterns/design inspiration for textiles. This image

Merian drew for art & science: ‘I was always encouraged to embellish my flower painting with caterpillars, summer birds [butterflies] & such little animals in the same manner in which landscape painters do in pictures, to enliven the one through the other. . .’

Merian is best known as a printmaker, botanical artist & entomologist (just a few things!), but like most 17th c. women, she was trained in needlepoint and fabric making from about age 8. Here's an early, gorgeous (!!!) hand-coloured engraving from the 1670s
