This book analyses the animal images used in William Hogarth's art,
demonstrating how animals were variously depicted as hybrids,
edibles, companions, emblems of satire and objects of cruelty.
Beirne offers an important assessment of how Hogarth's various
audiences reacted to his gruesome images and ultimately what was
meant by 'cruelty'.
"Things of such magnitude deserve respect and understanding. They deserve to be remembered..."
Artist and illustrator Jo Brown started keeping her nature diary in a bid to document the small wonders of the wood behind her home in Devon. This book is an exact replica of her original black Moleskin journal, a rich illustrated memory of Jo's discoveries in the order in which she found them. In enchanting, minute detail she zooms in on a bog beacon mushroom, a buff-tailed bumble-bee, or a native bluebell. And she notes facts about their physiology and life history.
Secrets Of A Devon Wood is a treat for the senses, a hymn to the intricate beauty of the natural world and a quiet call to arms for all of us to acknowledge and preserve it. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finally put it down.
