This is just a teaser post while I wait for the light to get better so I can take some pictures. What I really want to post about is Christmas wrap. So stay tuned for that.
I want to make some tags for my gifts. Last year I bought a set of CDs of Vintage Images and I’m going through them to try to find a Christmas image to use. It’s a very nice collection of images broken up into categories. There are over 8,000 images on the three CDs.
Most are what you would expect from a collection of Victorian and Edwardian images – children romping with puppies, cigar labels, vintage postcards and greeting cards. A lot look like they were scanned from fairy tale books. Most I can identify but the above image has me stumped. Is it from a story? Is is just a piece of artwork? It’s very detailed. I mean look at it – it looks like a battle between good and evil maybe?
This is just the sort of picture that would have fascinated me when I was a child. What am I saying ~ it fascinates me now. I may have to make up a story to go with it if I can’t figure out where it is from.
