BVCG Galleria - Mar-2024 - Archaic-Obsolete - Behold The Blackguard


Our next Guild's Galleria topic is Archaic/Obsolete words. I decided to create a sentence....
size: 9"w x 7"h
Quote written on a geli print on Columbia Mills End Paper using a pointed nib and Sumi ink in Pointed Pen Bookhand style.

Words: Behold the blackguard, the beef-witted, baseborn, was betimes sent to bedlam.
translation:
Observe, the stupid low-born scoundrel was speedily sent to the asylum.


This one done on Fabriano 1264 Mixed Media paper.... but several letters weren't very good... and I didn't like the plain background.

Words fascinate me. This is an interesting piece and I do particularly like the geli print background.
