Celebrating birthday

It is Shakespeare's year (1616) so what the heck, I decided to splurged and gifted myself with something appropriate.
Et voila! A bread plate from the Shakespeare collection by Staffordshire.
It stands now on a plate stand, right beside the "Shakespeare Cliff" engraving...

I have restored some of the older photographic images into a new format, a diptich.

In the memory of Harfa

Hard to believe, but I really played such instrument.
Not the weenir Guiness one, but the real pedal harp.  Ahhhh....
This illustration comes from the old French Encyclopaedia of Trades.

Valentines everyone!
