Writers learn tier three vocabulary for the intricacies of historical dress so that their characters can take it off with reverent hands and shaky breaths and I think that’s very sexy of us.

hihi!! im trying to find a high res version of kirstens read / reading poster (if it helps it’s illustrated by susan mcaliley ) and every version i find is either lowwww res or it’s slightly better quality but it has a bunch of creases in it :((

I mostly focus on scanning the illustrations featured in the books. I don't own any of the read posters, and so I don't have any of my own scans. The art on the reading posters sometimes is sometimes reused as site graphics (the AG website is using one right now), but it's usually a crop and I suspect you want the full image.

Is Kirsten's read poster by Susan McAliley...? Renee Graef did the main illustrations for Kirsten's series, and all of the other read posters were done by their original illustrators (Samantha even getting 2 when Dan Andreasen redid her books), so I figured Renee would also do the read poster. That said, I don't personally own any of the posters, so I can't check the poster for the actual credits. Both artists work with colored pencil & have both done vignette and paperdoll artwork for AG's historical characters, so if for whatever reason Renee Graef did NOT do the read poster, I could see Susan McAliley being AG's next pick.

I do know Renee Graef has a fairly active online presence via Instagram, & she's pretty open about sharing her past work with AG. Susan McAliley primarily focuses on Christian art now, but her portfolio site still seems active and has a contact option. You could try to contact both artists directly to see if either happen to have any higher res versions of the art used for the read poster?

There are also other AG blogs on tumblr that are lot better at finding High Quality images compared to me. In Pleasant Company in particular might be able to help you out better then me!
