It's arrived! My copy of the Met catalogue Venice and the Islamic World 828-1797 arrived today and it's *gorgeous*. Oh, the ceramics and glass and bronze and paintings and drawings...

I'll be in my bunk.

Well, I have to admit I'm a little sad that your bliss didn't turn out to be HYW England ... but I'm excited that you found it! And I do truly "get" the gorgeousness of your chosen point in the space-time continuum ...

And I also admire your quote ;-)

Jayne would be puzzled by your reading material, but thank god your friends understand!

I totally dig your icon - where is it from?

[bronx-baroness.livejournal.com]

Truthfully, I don't remember. I do know that it's actually a ribbon that looks like mosaic on top of an actual mosaic surface. I don't think it's copyrighted or it wouldn't be in my file of images. I try to be respectful of that.

If I find them out here would you be interested in the Renaissance Sotheby's catalogs I still have? When I worked for [large printer] we used to grab up the left overs (very expensive to produce, sold for $20 a pop sometimes and full of amazing photos). There was an arms and armor spanning late medieval through WWI, and another of textiles.

Yes, please! They sound like a treasure trove. Thank you!
