The Conclave has voted and the people want Cardinal Turtle!

These will be made-to-order and there *may* be a waitlist depending on just how many people are interested and how many turtles are requested.

Drop by my inbox or DM me to let me know if you'd like to make a purchase and how many turtles you'd like. I will add you to my list, and I will check if I have enough material for the quantity you request. If I do have the necessary materials to go ahead I will contact you about payment options (Venmo, CashApp, PayPal) and shipping info. I'll keep you up to date on turtle production, and once they are finished they will be shipped out either the day they're finished or the following business day (quote for shipping WITH tracking for a few extra $ available upon request). If there is a waitlist and it's long then I will keep you up to date on your position on the waitlist etc.

The Dame's Absence, from "Illustrated London News"

Engraver Harvey Orrin Smith British After Alfred Rankley British July 4, 1857

"In their teacher's absence, a group of children attending a country dame school grow restless and seem ready to get into mischief. One takes off her smock, another eats an apple, others look at a jug and mug at right. Rankley had trained at the schools of the Royal Academy and sent literary, poetic and dramatic subjects there for exhibition from 1841. By the 1850s he was moving towards genre and contemporary narrative with titles such as "The Sunday School" (1850), "The Village School" (1856). The present image belongs to the latter group, and the related painting was shown at the Royal Academy in 1857, then engraved by Harvey Orrin Smith for the "Illustrated London News." Founded in 1842 as the world’s first weekly news magazine, this periodical regularly published examples of contemporary art and exhibition reviews."

The Destruction of the Royal Statue at New York on July 9, 1776

After Franz Xavier Habermann German Publisher Basset French after July 1776

"Five days after the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, a pro-revolutionary group known as the New York Sons of Liberty tore down a statue of George III standing at Broadway and Bowling Green. This imaginative recreation of that event correctly shows enslaved and free Black men performing most of the labor, but dresses them in fanciful Turkish attire—a costume often worn by Black men in European art that refers to the legality of slavery in the Ottoman Empire. The Baroque architecture is more characteristic of a large European city from that era than Anglo-Dutch colonial New York, and the actual statue showed the king on horseback. Published in Paris, but based on a print issued slightly before in Augsburg and demonstrates broad European interest in the dramatic events taking place across the Atlantic. It was intended to be shown on a wall or screen using a "magic lantern", an optical device that projected the image by means of candles and mirrors, and often called a "Vue d'Optique."

The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

Engraver Waterman Lilly Ormsby American After John Trumbull American Publisher Cole & Co., Brooklyn, New York American 1876

"Though restrained in feeling, this print describes a profound revolutionary moment. It affirms the right of the original thirteen American colonies to separate from Great Britain—an unprecedented challenge to royal authority. The title is slightly misleading since what we actually witness is the drafters of the Declaration of Independence—John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert R. Livingston, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin—presenting the text to the Second Continental Congress at Philadelphia on June 28, 1776, six days before ratification. Forty-two of the eventual sixty-two signers appear here portrayed from life. Based on Trumbull’s famous painting of 1786, the print was engraved to mark the centenary of the United States."
