Admiring, again, the unimaginable skill and intense and lengthy concentration and focus required to do this work! (And playing around with the imagery of the animals chosen to represent political / philosophical differences: Lion / Unicorn and Elephant / Donkey.)
Thanks Steve. Yes, Nast was an amazing artist and it appears he did maybe a couple drawings each week for Harper's Weekly! I've got more great ones coming up!
Thanks, Rick, for these luminous threads of history. Most definitely symbols have guided us since we learned how to scratch images in the sand.
Thanks Galen––a fine comment, coming from someone who has been creating their own great batch of symbols for over a half-century!
