Friday’s Library Snapshot

My Friday snapshots from the library have become of late a little bit dreary ; I am wondering how I can incite a little more imagination on my part.

This one for instance, I found while researching this week’s nursery rhyme.  These images are from The baby’s opera ; a book of old rhymes with new dresses by Walter Crane ; engraved & printed in colours by Edmund Evans ; the music by the earliest masters.

They are lovely but just a bit Walter Crane!!

So over the weekend and coming weeks I must rethink this vital spot and take advantage of my position in the library; and look at illustrators that are a little more sparky!!
