Oh, lovely. Like the picture and the quote. I've just finished a book set in the 1920's and that is perfect picture - looks like Lizzie Crane, the protagonist. :-)
The 20th century up to about 1970 was a great time for American illustration because of magazines. All great were Virginia Frances Sterrett, Howard Pyle, Maxfield Parrish. As for "An Apology for the Life of Mr Colley Cibber" -- has anybody read that in the last 80 years?
Great quote! Although I sometimes feel I have plenty of books... just not enough time to read them all. :)
ReplyDeleteAin't that the truth? ;D

ReplyDeleteIsn't that a great quote?

ReplyDeleteI think there should be a day set aside every week just for reading. :D
DeleteNice combination quote and artwork. Kind of reminds me of my desk top before my wife shames me into tidying up a bit.
ReplyDeleteI wish my desk top looked this tidy. ;D

ReplyDeleteProbably not. It's sad how quickly things become forgotten. Thanks for your comment! :D
DeleteLark, I LOVE this image! And, that quote! Thank you for sharing both :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I ran across this image I knew I had to post it; I love it, too. :D
DeleteNever enough books, never enough time to read the books, LOL!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great image - and Steinbeck, of course, was right. Tell that to jerks like DeSantis.
ReplyDeleteAs always, great image, great quote. Who wouldn't agree?
ReplyDeleteThat quote is so true! :D
ReplyDeleteOh I love the art and the Steinbeck quote is perfect for it - and just generally perfect!
