David Attenborough by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara. Illustrated by Mikyo Noh.

Age Recommendation: Early Primary Topic/ Theme: Education, Animals, biographic. Setting: Global Series: Little People, Big Dreams

Rating: 5/5

This book is adorable. Given Attenborough's lifelong work with animals, it makes some sense that every page contains animals. From the first to the last, different animals and always fitting the moment. The white cockatoo (?) at Attenborough's graduation from university feels particularly apt, that idea of flight or the removal of a limit. The Queen's corgi makes an appearance at his knighthood, in a crown no less. Look all the animals are just super cute and so varied. One of the things that I was entirely unaware of before this was exactly how many things were named after David Attenborough, there is a double-page dedicated to that. While many of them are as expected fauna, there is flora (including a carnivorous plant). And the RRS Sir David Attenborough a British research vessel based in the Antarctic. I adored the illustrations even if Attenborough doesn't appear to age much in them. There is just so much variation in the settings and colour. Mikyo Noh has done so well there.

One of the more interesting facts about Attenborough is his family. All his family were educated, his mother was a linguist I think that might have influenced a young David. David Attenborough speaks the language of people (though not is the way Susan Attenborough did), the need to make see to make them care that is a language of its own. Linguistics and Anthropology are linked as studies or at least can be. I found the biography section that is included as always at the end of the book so very useful, most I just find are rehashing. But Sir David Attenborough has lived such a long life that this section gave information that couldn't be included. Unlike some of the subjects of books in the series where there is a lot of darkness in their lives, David Attenborough seems to have been content in a life of advocacy and education. Though the book does not mention his family. His marriage to wife Jane Elizabeth Ebsworth Oriel was only ended in 1997 by her death after 47 years. Though little is known about her. Their children are Robert and Susan. Robert is a senior lecturer in bioanthropology so seemingly the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Susan is a former headmistress. Sourced from Wikipedia but there really isn't much on Jane at all it is a fairly common question online.

Mrs. George Swinton (Elizabeth Ebsworth), John Singer Sargent, 1897, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

Mrs. George Swinton epitomizes the painterly virtuosity that made John Singer Sargent one of the most fashionable portraitists in late-19th-century Europe and America. Extravagant color and brushwork were central to Sargent’s success, as was his ability to present a refined and appealing image of his sitter. In Elizabeth “Elsie” Swinton’s case, he accentuated her regal bearing and feminine dress. Sargent harmonized the realism of her face and body with bursts of impressionistic brushstrokes describing the shimmering, translucent fabric descending from her shoulder. Swinton was also known for her musical talents; at the time her portrait was executed, she was recognized as an amateur singer and later began performing professionally. Wirt D. Walker Collection Size: 231 × 124 cm (90 3/4 × 48 3/4 in.) Medium: Oil on canvas

Renesmee 

Starter for @demivampyr​

The woman stood six feet tall in a white ivory gown of iridescent silks and golds. A plunging neckline revealed a full figure and defined collarbones. She rested the graceful arch of her hand upon the back of a peach settee. Strokes of grays and light browns oil paint drew attention to the warm, rose blush on her cheeks. Full lips crimson in contrasted to pale skin. A ruby tiara adorned her mahogany hair. A portrait of a gilded age gentlewoman, the picture of sophisticated elegance and grace. Celia stood in rapt attention as the trickle of pedestrians filtered around her. She observed the nuances of century old brush strokes and color. The sleeve on the left arm was a thin, see-through tulle and the use of light to reveal that small detail, fascinated her. 

The entire museum was filled with vibrant art. Small gold coins from 1st century Israel, oils painting, sculptures, stained glass, marble carvings, and delicate doll rooms. Celia couldn’t blame the girl for being drawn here. It was an afternoon of exploration and marvels, for not a lot of cash. It was hard being alone for the first time and Chicago was a big city. In late-November, a few hours out of the cutting cold wind and off the inhospitable streets was a mercy. It was the perfect labyrinth to be lost in too. The architecture was a fascinating pastiche of old and modern, the streets winding. It had taken a few days to find her charge amongst the brick and steel, but that was alright. Celia was living on the dime of a generous benefactor. 

She turned from Mrs. George Swinton (Elizabeth Ebsworth), to the cushioned benches left-out to sit on. Renesmee sat alone and unaware that she’d been followed for the past fifteen minutes. She contemplated an oil painting of a cow skull by Georgia O’Keefe. The runaway princess looked like her father. Bronze hair and the same cheekbones, not as frigid though. Celia pushed her hands in her coat pockets and then wandered over to end the charade. She waited for the girl to acknowledge her with a glance before speaking.

“You know,” Celia said, her voice soft but lit with amusement. A crooked grin pulled at her mouth. “You’ve scared the shit out of your family. You, mind if I have a seat?”
