    Very interesting. Makes you wonder who the male model was? Because he seems larger-than-life. Was he the artist's father? And it's funny how the book looks like a toy in his hand.

    Jodi,
    Isn't that how big you think your father is when you're a small girl or boy. And he is not only big - he knows everything that is worth knowing!
    I found a book on Gutenberg that might interest you:
    FORTY CENTURIES OF INK

    OR

    A CHRONOLOGICAL NARRATIVE CONCERNING
    INK AND ITS BACKGROUNDS

    INTRODUCING INCIDENTAL OBSERVATIONS AND
    DEDUCTIONS, PARALLELS OF TIME AND COLOR
    PHENOMENA, BIBLIOGRAPHY, CHEMISTRY,
    POETICAL EFFUSIONS, CITATIONS,
    ANECDOTES AND CURIOSA TOGETHER WITH
    SOME EVIDENCE RESPECTING THE
    EVANESCENT CHARACTER OF
    MOST INKS OF TO-DAY AND
    AN EPITOME OF CHEMICO-LEGAL INK.
