Tulip bouquet botanical illustrations by Alexander Marshall

A reminder to myself of this wonderful blog showing art from long ago. In particular here a post of tulip botanical studies by Alexander Marshall. ...in hopes of remembering to have these as references for when our art classes do tulips some time in April, (I think!).
And, this blog author apparently is posting a daily Madonna and child art piece of long ago. I suppose there must be plenty out there from all the handmade books made through the centuries before Gutenberg and his printing press revolutionized the possibilities of spreading the written word, (and image).
