courting frogs




Just look at the lovely quality of this very old childrens book 'A frog he would a wooing go' that I found at Spitalfields market on friday. The pages are actual linen and the dot screen of this early printing looks amazing...reminds me of those magical watercolour colouring pages where you just had to add water to bring the colours to life.
