“Young Daughter of the Picts with the head of the Artist,” 32 in. ceramic sculpture - Claire Partington

Based on the 16th century print by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues.

[prairie-tales]

'The Sacrifice of the First-Born Son'.

From the 'Brevis Narratio' [I think], engraved by Theodor de Bry, based on a watercolour painting by Jacques le Moyne de Morgues.

The text of the 'Brevis Narratio...' describes the earliest French settlements of what are now portions of the United States. It contains engravings based on watercolours by a member of Jean Ribault's expedition to the New World, Jacques le Moyne. To most of the Old World, this work presented the first accurate eyewitness depiction and account of Native Americans.

The full title 'Brevis Narratio' is 'Brevis narratio eorum quae in Florida Americae Provincia Gallis acciderunt', (translation: 'A brief narration of those things which befell the French in the province of Florida in America'.) [I'm a bit confused as the illustrations in that do not appear to be colourised]

Extra Notes:

De Bry cut forty-two engravings based on Jacques Le Moyne de Morgue’s watercolor depictions of the Timucuan Indians of Florida for his 1591 publication of Le Moyne's narrative ['Brevis Narratio'] of the failed attempt by the French to settle in Florida.

Snowdrops and Other Joys

Snowdrop by Master of Claude de France, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art

TO A SNOWDROP

Lone Flower, hemmed in with snows and white as they But hardier far, once more I see thee bend Thy forehead, as if fearful to offend, Like an unbidden guest. Though day by day, Storms, sallying from the mountain-tops, waylay The rising sun, and on the plains descend; Yet art thou welcome, welcome as a friend Whose zeal outruns his promise! Blue-eyed May Shall soon behold this border thickly set With bright jonquils, their odours lavishing On the soft west-wind and his frolic peers; Nor will I then thy modest grace forget, Chaste Snowdrop, venturous harbinger of Spring, And pensive monitor of fleeting years!

—William Wordsworth

Helleborus niger by Hans Simon Holtzbecker

ON A CHRISTMAS ROSE II/Auf eine Christblume II

There sleeps a flower seed in winter’s loam. The butterfly that once in nights of spring Swayed over bush and hill on velvet wing Shall never taste of thy sweet honeycomb. And yet who knows, perhaps his fragile spirit– Long after Summer’s ornaments shall slip– One day from thy soft scent shall his ghost sip Unseen by me, though circling round so near it?

—Eduard Mörike, translation by A. Christine Myers

Anemone hepatica by Hans Simon Holtzbecker

EARLY BLOOMS FROM AN ELIZABETHAN GARDEN

The Hepatica or Noble Liuerwoort is another flower of account, whereof some are white, others red, or blew, or purple, somewhat resembling Violets, but that there are white threads in the middest of their flowers, which adde the more grace vnto them; and one kinde of them is so double, that it resembleth a double thicke Dasie or Marigold, but being small and of an excellent blew colour, is like vnto a Button: but that which commendeth the flower as much as the beauty, is the earlinesse in flowring, for that it is one of the very first flowers that open themselues after Christmas, euen in the midst of Winter.

—John Parkinson: Paradisi in Sole, Paradisus Terrestris

Sweet Violet and Red Admiral Butterfly by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues

STANZA IV

The snowdrop, and then the violet, Arose from the ground with warm rain wet, And their breath was mixed with fresh odour, sent From the turf, like the voice and the instrument.

—Percy Bysshe Shelley, from The Sensitive Plant
