Picture of George Orwell which appears in an old accreditation for the Branch of the National Union of Journalists (BNUJ). The black and white portrait shows Orwell with his characteristic thin mustache, intense gaze, and slightly disheveled dark hair, likely taken during his years as a journalist and writer in the 1940s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Orwell#/media/File:George_Orwell_press_photo.jpg 32b6cae74be57b92.jpg Peanuts in the shell. 45504378bfda559a.jpg Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) A star-of-Bethlehem, woode anemone and spurge c.1506-12 The focus of this drawing is a clump of star-of-Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum L.), whose swirling leaves are seen in the studies for the kneeling Leda and in most copies of the painting, where it softens the edge of the rock on which the swan stands (the same device is seen by the infant Baptist’s legs in the St Anne cartoon, of a similar date). Flanking the star-of-Bethlehem is wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa L.), and below is sun spurge (Euphorbia helioscopia L.) with details of its seedheads. Although the star-of-Bethlehem is somewhat stylised, the blades of grass growing untidily among and behind the anemones suggest that Leonardo observed these plants in the wild. Melzi's number 130.

"The jewel measures 2.4 by 1.2 inches (6.2 by 3.1 centimeters). Its design consists of dozens of small cells filled with colorful enamel paste and accented by thin strips of gold. It depicts a person from the mid-thighs up. The Old English inscription in capital letters around the edge of the jewel's bezel connects it to Alfred the Great." - from article "At the base of the jewel, in what looks like the mouth of a dragon or snake, experts have noticed a cylindrical socket. This was likely where the pointer itself was once connected." - from article 4d783486913b9c16.jpg Portrait of Burns by Alexander Nasmyth, 1787, Scottish National Portrait Gallery. This half-length portrait of Burns, framed within an oval, has become the most well-known and widely reproduced image of the famous Scottish poet. Nasmyth's painting, commissioned by the publisher William Creech, was to be engraved for a new edition of Burn's poems. He is shown fashionably dressed against a landscape, evoking his rural background in Alloway, Ayrshire. Burns and Nasmyth had become good friends, having been introduced to one another in Edinburgh by a mutual patron, Patrick Miller of Dalswinton. Nasmyth, pleased to have recorded Burns' likeness convincingly, decided to leave the painting in a slightly unfinished state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Burns#/media/File:PG_1063Burns_Naysmith.jpg dc604c3fe9c77033.jpg François Clouet - Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-87) Mary wears a pink gown decorated with vertical gold striping and small jeweled embellishments.
