From the age of romance (apparently!), a very beautiful series of 19th century letters at
I would loved to have copied one or the other to show you but it seems the British Museum is strict about use of their images, but please do have a look!
Some other art I’m feeling enthusiastic about just now is that of Mela Koehler, who was part of the Wiener Werkstätte between 1903-1932 and whose style I think is gorgeous, if typical for the age… Is it a coincidence that the little dog there is a spaniel?! Never seen a white one, tho’!
And the feather in her hat looks like a spaniel’s ear – like owns, like dog? 🙂 Very nice.
