Thank you!

The black-and-white childhood gospel images are quite compelling. It's understandable why their book merited a gold medal.

My favoritest images nevertheless remain the first and the second in-text illustrations. You mention in a provided link that JMK selected Beauty over Beast interpretations.

Might art critics of her time and of subsequent times particularly have respected her Beauty renditions?

That's so disappointing about your Canalblog posts.

Might the difficult-access situation mean that you'd have no way of copying, modifying or removing your creations?

The photographed, sixth in-text image leads me to look at JMK as not blonde-haired.

Might she have been an ;-D adaptable, astute, determined, prescient ;-D redhead?

Thank you!

Her adaptability and her determination perhaps can be ascertained from the photographed, sixth in-text image of Jessie M. King. She conveys confidence.

Wizzleyite Jo Murphy clarifies Darwinism as more correctly configured as the most adaptable surviving.

Your image choice certainly displays JMK adaptability and -- in regard to that charming, 21st-century-like image -- her prescience, don't you agree?

Hello Derdriu
I apologise for the late response. I have been out of action for some weeks.

I only drink English breakfast tea , up to 2.5 pints a day . Cold drinks , I have sparkling water so as to reduce the sugar contents in my drinks and protect my blood sugar.

The lady in photo is Jessie M. King, of course. The bw drawings are frontispiece from The gospel of Childhood (she won the gold medal for this book), next is one of her bookplates. The color images are illustration from Star Child (House of Pomegranates - link at the end of article) and one of her designs, presented in the already mentioned book about Cinderella and batik.

Yes, it's her work. It's her adaptation of Cinderella, used as a text-book for batik.

Canalblog is going through major changes in these days. They are retiring their old servers and install new ones. This blog was offline for at least three weeks. I suppose it's again. At the moment I can't reachj it either. When I wrote to their technical stuff they answered me to just be patient.

She was partially determined by her origin, yes. But she had talent and she was willing to make the best of it, in spite of obstacles. According to everything I have read about her, she was very adaptable. She used everything she could to achieve her personal and artistic goals.

We live in a sad world, yes. But only we can improve it. At least a bit. Hang on, Jo_Murphy!
