Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

“The Fibonacci Sequence turns out to be the key to understanding how nature designs … and is … a part of the same ubiquitous music of the spheres that builds harmony into atoms, molecules, crystals, shells, suns and galaxies and makes the Universe sing.” -Guy Murchie

Iridescent glass vase made of silver metal base, mounted with encrusted pearls, precious stones at the base on the neck of the vase by Louis Comfort Tiffany circa 1897 (and yo, of course, @mermaidenmystic )

There is so much about the artists of the Art Nouveau period I am still learning about. This is just so amazing...

The Enchanted Pool by Hilda Cowham, 1928

When I was in prep school, many years ago, the library had this wonderful publishing of Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”  The book was an English publication, I believe, likely from sometime in the 1920s.  After grad school I began looking for it.  It took 12 years to find.

The top image is not a lithograph, and I am not certain how to describe it.  It is printed on the page, and the volume contains many.  The bottom image appears to be the small print of a painting, that has been glued onto the page of the book inside the printed frame.  There are several of these throughout the volume.  These attached prints are all in the style you see here, a hazy view of the subject. I love books in general, but this is one of my favorites...
