Very cool!
On another note, I had a dream last night that you'd already had your baby and I was very confused.
No, she's not here yet, thank goodness! The crib isn't even set up yet--yikes, I really need to get on that.
Greetings! I found your blog through a comment on Art Blog by Bob, and came over for a visit. I enjoy your site very much.
Having received graduate degree in art history from BYU, I don't doubt the caliber of this exhibition. There was another Victorian art exhibit at BYU about a year ago, which was fantastic. Although the image quality isn't great, you can see a couple of images from this earlier exhibition here.
Although I don't write expressly on 19th century/Victorian topics, you might be interested in visiting my art history blog: www.albertis-window.blogspot.com
Cheers!
Thanks for your comment, M, and for the link!
