These paintings look esp arresting against the dark backdrop to your blog. Be sure to say a little more, in the future, about each image. Your captions should be more than simply the title of each work -- say how each image connects to the themes we're tracking and how it helps you understand the novel we're studying.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the handmade modern token in person at the Foundling Museum, but I love that you took a picture of it. That really shows how the public's view of orphans has shifted through the years.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote on the handmade token in your picture. It sounds like something a mother would say after leaving her child at the Foundling Hospital. Although as depressing as the situation might have seen at the time, the Hospital gave orphans the chance to have courage and to become something more.
