We could write odes upon odes and it wouldn’t nearly cover all of the praise that libraries deserve. But a picture’s worth a thousand words, amirite? Tomorrow is Library Shelfie Day, so we’re going to grab this opportunity to celebrate our reverence of the written word with beautifully bookish art. \xa0 At 20x200, we’re a bunch of romantics when it comes to the physical medium, and books are right up there: the smell of new books, old books, libraries, magazines; being surrounded by stacks and stacks of inspirational voices and literary characters—i.e. old friends—who've kept you company over the years. \xa0 So what could be better than the magical tangibility of museum-quality prints that celebrate books and words? Luckily we have a pretty deep collection of art adding to this exchange. Shoutout to the queen of the library shelfie herself: Jane Mount, who has painted over 600 Ideal Bookshelfsets, depicting 10,000+ favorite books of various souls in her life. |
