The scholar


Elisabeth Bohm (or Elisaveta Bem) was a Russian painter who created over 350 postcards during her lifetime 1843-1914.  This is one of a series illustrating each letter of the alphabet.

K is for книжник or scholar.  This of course is a modern reproduction of the original.  I do wonder if the whole alphabet is available because it would make a lovely collection.

This is a post for Postcard Friendship Friday hosted on Beth Niquette's blog, The Best Hearts are Crunchy.
