About the original book by Henry Peacham<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Minerva Britanna, or a Garden of Heroical Devises, furnished, and adorned with Emblemes and Impresa’s of sundry natures, Newly devised, moralized and published. These richly symbolic woodcuts appear in the second part of Henry Peacham\u2019s Minerva Britanna (1612), a type of emblem book that was popular in Renaissance Europe. In these books, each image is an emblem depicting a key idea, accompanied by a pithy rhyming verse or moral epigram. Of the 204 emblems in this work, 62 are based on Basilikon Doron (1599), King James VI and I\u2019s book of advice to his young son.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I adore this book and these woodcuts and am particularly thrilled with how the seamless repeating pattern came out – it was pretty time consuming but I hope you’ll agree it’s my best yet. There aren’t free phone wallpapers of this one since they’re included in the Etsy set, but check the freebies <\/a>tag for others<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much love, J x<\/p>\n\n\n
