"Scattering: A Journey Through Time and Artistic Expression" In the cover design of Progress, July 1927, we are transported to Mont Touris-Toulon, where the majestic beauty of nature unfolds before our eyes. God rays pierce through the clouds, casting ethereal crepuscular rays upon the mountain peaks at sunset. The scene is reminiscent of a painting from another era. As we delve deeper into history, we encounter Duke William's envoys in search of Count Guy in the iconic Bayeux Tapestry. This wool embroidery on linen tells a tale of intrigue and diplomacy that has captivated audiences for centuries. Moving forward to ca. 1875, we find ourselves immersed in Valentine - Mechanical -- four layers, merrymaking. Created by an anonymous artist, this whimsical piece showcases intricate craftsmanship and invites us to revel in its playful charm. The artistry continues with a miniature from the Homilies of Bede depicting a farmer sowing seeds on vellum. This delicate portrayal reminds us of the importance of nurturing growth and embracing new beginnings. Shifting gears to August 14th, 1574, Queen Elizabeth's State Entry into Bristol comes alive through an oil-on-canvas masterpiece from 1917. We can almost hear the cheers as she graces her subjects with her regal presence. Flora with Putti-Peace transports us to a serene world where peace reigns supreme amidst lush landscapes painted on canvas. It serves as a reminder that harmony can be found even in tumultuous times. Plate 389 takes us back to rural life as we witness a farmer scattering seed captured beautifully through collotype on paper from 1872-85. The image evokes feelings of hope and abundance brought forth by hard work and perseverance. An angelic stained glass depiction aptly named Angel Sower fills our hearts with spiritual inspiration as divine light shines upon fields being sown.
