One for all the mask makers on LJ

especially Squigglebog

It's called "Mask maker in Palermo"

It's a great image, isn't it? It's from the most INCREDIBLE book that we found (yes, yes, we have been absolutely haunting bookshops - we dig things out from dark shelves at the back too and end up covered in dust and sneezing - very Diagon Alley really). It's full of images that make my toes curl in happiness - only problem was that it weighed as much as a small house and we had to drag it home in the tram. But we succeeded! Yay! and here is the first scan.

Funny that she seems to be thinking about “him” while painting a mask of the devil... hehe.
I think that's the kind of subtlety that some of these artists really did so well. Yes, it makes you think!
Heee heee heee heeee heeeeee!!! I'm behind on reading my friends list, I almost missed that one. It is quite precious! Would you mind if I borrowed it for anything?
Borrow away! If you'd like a higher res image just let me know. The book is well out of copyright, so there are no problems with that.

Glad you like it!
