I feel like most book people don't appreciate tampering on books but, the rare thickness of my own copy made it impossible for me to not scribble on it anyway( ◜▿◝ ) I'm glad Mr. Sholmes introduced me to Mr. Holmes, it's a fun read!

Fore Edge Forest?
We have winter break on our minds, so the edge decoration on this late 17th century collection of knowledge from sacred and ecclesiastical histories looks like pine trees to us!
Link to catalog record:
Goeree, Willem. Voor-bereidselen tot de bybelsche wysheid, en gebruik der heilige en kirklijke historien: uit de alder-oudste gedenkkenissen der Hebreen, Chaldeen, Babyloniers, Egiptenaars, Syriers, Grieken en Romeinen...Amsterdam, W. Goeree, 1690.

I painted the 'Foxhole Court' quite some time ago. This was a fun book to paint, mostly because I love painting Neil <3

Fore-Edge Friday: Damage or Decoration?
I hope we'd be forgiven for assuming the top edge of this book (as seen in the first photo above) had simply been splattered with water sometime in the past 200 years. But a look at the other edges indicates it is an intentional decoration!
To be fair, the book has some damage and has survived an encounter with mold. (You can see a line left when the book became wet and eventually dried.) We assume the original decoration was more striking before the book was ravaged by time, use, and moisture, but what remains is beautiful and interesting all the same.

I just love love love pride and prejudice, it's my comfort read and I have to re-read it at least once a year!
