#TilesOnTuesday Reading about the accelerating decline in wild bird species in the UK made us think of this fellow. Multi-Lustre Dodo Tile by William De Morgan (1898) The dodo is an extinct flightless bird from Mauritius and was popularised by Lewis Carol who featured it in 'Alice in Wonderland'.
Multi-Lustre Dodo Tile by William De Morgan (1898)

The dodo is an extinct flightless bird from Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The dodo was popularised in the Victorian period by Lewis Carol who featured it in Alice in Wonderland. Typical application of these tiles would be in a nursery bathroom.

The overlooked masterpiece full of coded messages about World War One
Esoteric and pioneering, the paintings of a lesser-known Pre-Raphaelite, Evelyn De Morgan, explored the trauma and meaning of war – and prefigured current fantasy art.
