October's bookish art...

 
Jacques-Emile Blanche -- Woman Reading, 1890

"I love books. I like that the moment you open one and sink in to it you can escape from the world, into a story that's way more interesting than yours will ever be."

    I love falling into a story. It's the best form of escapism. Wonderful quote and beautiful painting.

    Your bookish art posts are some of my favourites. Overall. Here, we can see very well how the reader escapes the world. Beautiful.
