A lovely post. My favourites are the swallows on the V&A embroidery.
ReplyDeleteI expect that the birds Godfrey Blount knew around Foundry Meadow are the ancestors of your own garden birds.......
Thanks. I think they are my favourite too, although the tapestry of the blackbird singing amongst the magnolias(?) comes a close second.
ReplyDeleteI have wondered what the birds and deer that frequent our gardens could tell us about the time of the peasant artists. We also have many squirrels and foxes, which I have not seen depicted in any Peasant Arts works.
