O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Check out this tiny tragedy, printed in Glasgow in 1904. This edition of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is bound in red leather, with marbled end pages, and bears the playwright’s coat of arms on the front cover.

For #MiniatureMonday we present: Ms. Codex 724! This 13th century French Bible isn't miniature, but it's chock full of little guys - guys in initials that illustrate biblical stories, guys in the margin, and even guys hanging out between the columns. You can see more of them in the digitized copy, available through the record link.

As the full moon rose high in the sky, eerie howls echoed through the deserted streets, signaling the arrival of The Wolf. Residents locked their doors right, knowing that once the beast prowled, there was no escaping its insatiable hunger for flesh. 🐺

It's been a while since I posted for #MiniatureMonday but I wanted to share this C'Tan Shard of the Void Dragon I painted for my husband's #necron army! We're doing a gold/red/black theme roughly inspired by the game #DeathStranding . This was a quick photo from a while back, but I'll get better pics with the tiny hand prints soon. #gamesworkshop #miniatures #warhammer40k #wh40k #painting #ctanshardofthevoiddragon https://www.instagram.com/p/CTyP7uqFYtj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Miniature Monday
For #MiniatureMonday we’re bringing you this delicate book of poems and illustrations from our Rosalee McReynolds Collection at Special Collections & Archives. “Summer Garden” by Claire Lawson-Hall includes poetic musings on the state of the author’s English garden throughout the seasons, and is paired with lovely illustrations by longtime collaborator, artist and printmaker Muriel Mallows.


Lawson-Hall’s writing reads like a series of dispatches from the garden to an unknown correspondent, and Morrow’s loose sketches of the flora described therein frame the words in such a way that the reader feels immersed in this familiar place that Lawson-Hall returns to for inspiration throughout the seasons.

This limited edition book, along with An Autumn Garden, A Winter Garden, and A Spring Garden, are part of our Rosalee McReynolds Collection, and all feature tremendously artful details like a concentric accordion fold which opens to reveal a large floral block print on verso.

Umas modificações pesadas nesse Dreadnaught Contemptor do meu exército de WH30k. Recebi essa mini como brinde, e ela veio sem um dos braços e com uma perna bem avariada. Dito isso o resultado final ficou aceitável . #miniaturemonday #wh30k #spacewolves #forruss #tropaspolares (em Curitiba, Paraná) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFriX10hYuZ/?igshid=gtuvuyjgjt0s

#MiniatureMonday
Check out this miniature photo album of tintype portraits!
Efficient and inexpensive to produce, tintypes were a popular form of portrait photography in the latter half of the 19th century. The thin metal plates (usually made of iron, not tin) made the photos durable and portable, and they were often kept as souvenirs or inserted into photo albums like this one.
Notice the rosy cheeks on some of the subjects? Though the photographic process produced black and white images, tintypes were sometimes painted on by hand to add color.
Although we don’t know the original owner of this photo album, several of the portraits have handwritten captions identifying the subjects as family members. The album is most likely from the 1860s or 1870s, when tintypes were at their height.

Some retro Necrons done up for games of Grimdark Future: Firefight! I tried to paint them in a period-appropriate way with drybrushed silver and gold, with ink washes and pearl greens to make the details pop.

Today's #MiniatureMonday is this little 14th century Italian Psalter. The 'miniature' in this case is an inhabited initial and marginal decorations, in part illustrating the hunt (look for dogs, the fox and a rabbit in the bottom margin) This is a Ferial Psalter - in addition to the psalms, it includes antiphons and other prayers. (Ms. Codex 1057)

This eerie translucent dragon is named Stormas. They'll happily rest on your end table or counter top because that's way better than a humid swamp.
