Esteven's Staircase

[anteros_lmc]

Dear esteven, I took these pictures for you while we were in Portsmouth. The Princess Royal Gallery where the conference was held on the first day was right at the top of this staircase. I was so busy thinking about our presentation that I had walked passed these paintings several times before I noticed them. I think I may have squeaked when I realised

I think I may have squeaked when I realised what I'd been blithely ignoring! And, did you squeak?

Hope I've got the names right, I had to guess some of them :}
*g* Let us not be pedantic, for all love!

Btw, is there a chance you'd repost this entry to perfect_duet?

You're most welcome my dear :) I'll be going back at the beginning of September so I'll see if I can get pictures of the others. I didn't see all the covers so there may have been another floor I didn't investigate!

And, did you squeak?
I do believe I did! :)

I'd be more than happy to. I'll put it up as a public post though, rather than linking back to a locked post here.

Thank you. That is why I asked for a separate post at PD. :)

Done!

Squeaks over here too. Amazing. Glad you smoked it, Anteros.

These are the cover paintings of the O'Brian editions that partner has so it was lovely to see the originals :) esteven had told me about the staircase with the paintings while she was visiting so I felt more than a little foolish when I walked past them several times!

Oh, lovely.

I'm always struck by the little details that Hunt includes in these paintings.
In many of the copies I have of the M & C series, (all trade paper) three, four, or five of the books share a common painting on the spine. The picture is complete when the books are side by side on the shelf.

Of course, I have to be a little competitive and use my own cover art as the icon for the above comment.

Yes! Those are the same editions we have, though we don't have the full set of that particular imprint. They're lovely educations :) It was great to be able to see the original paintings

[anteros_lmc]

I think that's allowed :) Your own cover art wouldn't look at all out of place adorning that staircase!

Oh, lovely! I can't decide which one is my favourite. :)

They're lovely pictures but I'm afraid the pics aren't very good. I snapped them in a bit of a rush and it was hard to get a decent angle on the stairs. I'll try and take better ones next time :)
