Tolkien, Ruskin, Mason, and Allingham all in one article! This was a treat to read. Thank you for sharing. I’m going to look into getting some of Allingham’s work into my school curriculum. I work at a classical Christian school and we are Charlotte Mason-art study lovers!
Hi Hannah, you are most welcome and I am so glad you liked it. If you want the higher resolution images then let me know and I’ll get them over to you.
Thank you so much for this Vincent. I particularly love this following paragraph from your post:
"We dismiss the things that are closest to us. We overlook the art that looks like life. We assume that beauty must be dramatic or exotic or difficult to be worth our attention, and in doing so, we lose sight of the beauty that is right in front of us, the beauty of an old cottage, a well-tended garden, a child playing by a gate."

Hi Rachelle. I’ll do some digging and see if it’s viable. thanks for the idea.
