Over the years I have had many Victorian painted roundels to restore or copy. These small individual quarries bought in an antique shop and now leaded into a panel and en-route to the Isle of Wight illustrate perfectly the Victorian view of nature; wondrous pleasure in the detail of organic life - imagined or actual, scary views of nature red in tooth and claw and frequently served up with a large dose of whimsy.
Who are you calling whimsical?!
Some more Victorian views on nature from another job...
