Imagery from “Encyclopédie de l’architecture: constructions modernes. Tome VII.” 1935. Albert Marcel Morancé, editor. From a scanned copy at the Internet Archive.

Aspirational decor from folios and magazines. 2 Minutes

On a voyage to see how much mileage I can get from the creative ability and eye for images that my family thought was useless. On line art curator, fiction writer and now blogger. Historian's daughter. Follow me . . .even I have no idea where I'm going next.
