The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and the Enigmatic Meaning of their Dreamsby  Alessandra Sanguinetti

“Beli and Guille were always running, climbing, chasing chickens and rabbits. Sometimes I’d take their picture just so they’d leave me alone and stop scaring the animals away, but mostly I would shoo them out of the frame. I was indifferent to them until the summer of 1999, when I found myself spending almost everyday with them. They were nine and ten years old then, and one day, instead of asking them to move aside, I let them stay.”

The camera obscura (dark chamber) is an optical device that projects an inverted image through a small hole onto a surface. It was described by Leonardo da Vinci and later improved with a lens. This tool became a popular portable way for artists to trace landscapes, inspiring the quest for photography.

Illustration of "portable" camera obscura (similar to Risner's proposal) in Kircher's Ars Magna Lucis Et Umbrae (1645) / iv. Holes in the leaf canopy project images of a solar eclipse on the ground.]

William Morris, a British poet, designer, and thinker, founded the Kelmscott Press in 1891, a printing press that became a landmark of the Arts and Crafts movement. In response to mechanization and the subpar quality of many industrially produced books, Morris aimed to restore the craftsmanship of books from the incunabula period by reviving medieval printing techniques. He championed the book as a complete work of art by creating works with his own typefaces, illustrations by artists like Edward Burne-Jones, and careful attention to layout and binding. The edition of The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer was his most famous creation.
