I've been playing around w something similar--so fun! There are amazing images in _Dialogus creaturarum, moralisatus..._ (1481). (I ended up doing this in reverse for my first take. It's so interesting--the hatching under the lion's leg makes me think it could be super-early engraving?)

Next up: two different media from Anna Maria Garthwaite — incredible papercutting in her late teens, followed by brocade designs 30 years later. Wonderful to see the actual textile alongside her sketch! #AGO ‘Making her Mark’

Looking forward to kicking off my grad history/DH course this morning. Somewhat perplexed by the technology in our classroom. Hey, at least it’s historical?!
