Acrylic on antique book (King Henry VI, Part One, Knickerbocker Leather & Novelty Co., 1916–1918)
Book: 2 × 3 in. | Framed: 12 × 14 in.

This early pocket edition of King Henry VI — once sold for a dime and sometimes carried in WWI care packages — has been reimagined with an original acrylic painting of an imagined muse, the kind who might have inspired Shakespeare’s verses. Professionally float-mounted in a custom black walnut gallery frame.
