Martin Schnogauer, Third Wise Virgin, c.1480

I’m a little obsessed with the 15th century at the moment. SO much more interesting than the 16th in my opinion but then I never liked Tudor history which dominates, obviously, 16th century Britain.

Here’s some of Phiz’s work from the novel I’m currently reading, Martin Chuzzlewit, depicting Mr Pecksniff, his two ‘fair’ daughters and the title character. 1843
