Black-and-white photo of two tabby kittens and two tabby and white kittens. They are sitting on a little studio scene with books and a wooden box that looks like a jewelry box or humidor. Text at the bottom says brothers and sisters.

The Harvest Moon is the name of the full moon that is closest to the autumn equinox and this year it occurs today, September 26th. Traditionally this was a time for gathering crops. The Harvest Moon rises around sunset for several nights in a row, providing farmers with 🎨 Hannah Willow

Thoughtful little beauty. From a glass plate negative in my collection, no date/info.

Black-and-white photo of a short haired, white and black cat lying on a worn wooden step. The image is incredibly sharp you can see individual hairs and the worn texture of the wood.

‘For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.’ ~ Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene. @racheldeering.bsky.social here for the rest of a Renaissance #BookWormSat 🖼️ John Melhuish

Description from Peter Nahum at Leicester Galleries: ‘This mesmerising work is a vision of Acrasia kneeling with her victim in the garden of the Bower of Bliss. Like the sorceress Circe who turned Ulysses’s men into swine and whom Strudwick had painted two years before,(3) Acrasia seduced men and transformed them into beasts. The defeated knight, who has succumbed to Acrasia’s charms and sipped her fatal potion, lies listlessly in her arms, at her mercy. His armour is scattered with rose blossoms, his shield rests futilely in the branches, and his sword lays idle upon the ground. Beyond the bower, a lake glistens in a golden sunset.’

🖼️ The Haunted Room, Painted at a Farmhouse on Exmoor
Alfred James Munnings.

Painting of a haunted bedroom scene. The composition centre’s around a large, dark-wood four-poster bed where several figures interact in fear and confrontation. Inside the red curtained bed, an elderly figure wearing a white nightcap and nightgown sits up, looking terrified. On the floor at the foot of the bed, a young man or servant crouches low, looking up in shock or seeking protection. On the right side of the bed, a glowing, translucent ghostly figure dressed in white points a finger toward the bed, seemingly confronting or terrifying the occupants.On the far left, a large vanity sits atop a wooden dressing table. The mirror reflects a distorted, ghostly white face or presence.

The huge height of the buildings, running up to 10 & 15 stories, the narrow arched entries that continually vomited passengers, the wares of the merchants in their windows, the hubbub & endless stir, the foul smells & fine clothes & a hundred other particulars too small to mention... #BookwormSat

THE CITY IS WILDER THAN YOU THINK AND KINDER THAN YOU THINK. IT IS A VALLEY AND YOU ARE A HORSE IN IT IT IS A HOUSE AND YOU ARE A CHILD IN IT SAFE AND WARM HERE IN THE FIRE OF EACH OTHER —Robert Montgomery, Light Poem (recycled sunlight) #BookWormSat #poetry www.robertmontgomery.org/recycledsunl...

A shop window in a city at night. The building is quite old, and there are drainpipes and cables coming down either side of the shop window. There's a flat above the shop, and there's a light on in one window. There are red, old-fashioned wrought-iron railings outside the shop window. The shop door says "WELCOME TO KK" and there's a sign reading "Sorry we're OPEN".

Above the shop window is a set of lights spelling out letters, set in front of a heart and under an arch of stars. The letters read

THE CITY IS WILDER THAN YOU THINK
AND KINDER THAN YOU THINK. IT IS A
VALLEY AND YOU ARE A HORSE IN IT
IT IS A HOUSE AND YOU ARE A
CHILD IN IT SAFE AND WARM HERE
IN THE FIRE OF EACH OTHER
