my favourite things, and others that are not, as we don't ever get what we want

quadro de escola / school posters

·
não resisti à tentação no outro dia na livraria sá da costa
encontrei uma pilha de antigos quadros de escola portugueses, e sob estes 4 quadros de escola ingleses intitulados "general service english wall pictures" (já tinham sido 8, mas os outros já tinham sido vendidos), provavelmente litografias desenhadas por elizabeth skilton, algures nos 50/60's, representando uma praia e o centro de uma aldeia (aqui em baixo em imagens encontradas na net quando pesquisava a origem), e mais uma quinta e um porto

the other day i didn't resist to the temptation at sá da costa bookshop (lisbon)
found a pile of old portuguese school posters over 4 old english ones entitled "general service english wall pictures" (they were 8 but 4 have been already sold), probably lithographies, drawn by elizabeth skilton in the 50/60's, presenting a beach and the center of a village (shown below in pictures found in the net when searching for more information), and also a farm and a port





da mesma série na net igualmente encontrei uma rua de londres e um escritório

from the same series, on the net i also found, a street of london and an office




são grandes e lindos e esperam ser emoldurados para ir para a parede (embora não saiba bem qual)

they are big and beautiful and are expecting to be mounted to be on the wall

sim, morreu embora todo o circo criado pela morte do outro lhe tenha tirado toda a atenção
e o seu sorriso era lindo

yes, she died but all the fuss created around the other's death stole all the attention
and her smile was just beautiful
