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...
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 ...
