Some highlights from national gallery outing a couple weeks ago :-)

The image is a cover for the sheet music of "The Owl & the Pussy-Cat," a popular nonsense poem by Edward Lear, set to music by M.J. Worthington Bliss (Miss Lindsay). Owl is in the boat, cat is on the sail.

‘The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar’ ~ Lear for #BookWormSat
