A silk textile curtain sewed into this 13th-century bible to protect the delicate gold leaf illumination of the Stoning of Jeremiah.
This beautiful edition of Byron’s The Prisoner of Chillon was published in 1865 and illuminated by William and George Audsley, a pair of Scottish architects. Each page features a full medieval-style chromolithograph complete with shining silver and gold accents. The Audsley brothers were especially known for their Gothic Revival style, so I suppose it’s only natural that they would produce such intricate, vivid borders.

Kamchatka Italy-based photographer Isabella Tabacchi has captured breathtaking photos of the Kamchatka peninsula, a land in the far east of Russia. Her purpose was to discover a natural scenery that, except for some little towns and the city Petropavlovsk-Kamčatskij, is totally made of pristine nature, forests and huge volcanoes. The nature of Kamchatka is still mostly unknown, it’s really dangerous and it changes continuously, so she explored the peninsula with the help of two local guides.

Esther Scroll; dedicated in honor of Ezra Somekh; Kolkata, India; 19th–20th Century.
Esther scrolls in elaborate cases, recounting the Purim story of the salvation of the Jews in the Persian Empire, were often given as betrothal gifts and passed on from one generation to the next as veritable family heirlooms. This scroll from Kolkata invokes the biblical blessing of Joseph to protect the groom, Ezra Somekh.
This is incredible

Moments of Isolation UK-based photographer May Parlar work reflects on themes of belonging and alienation. To build her fanciful scenes, Parlar explains that she layers frames to build composite images rather than manipulating the content itself. “I work across different mediums such as photography, film, performance art, sculpture, installation, and landscape art; and all of which gets merged in the end and put together with a glue that for me is the camera”.
