Description
This vintage still life features two very old books, one leather bound, lying on a wooden desk. A pair of old-fashioned wire rim glasses sits on top of one; a feather lies on the other. Behind the desk you can see the carved back of a straight chair and beyond that the wall of the room and the door leading into it.

I love this Nikolyn; wonderful vintage image. Love the placement of the spectacles and the feather. And in my opinion, the defocused chair in the back draws the eye to the mystery of the scene in its entirety. I for one would salute the gentle acquaintance of an old book and its treasures, whether they be poetry, comedy, tragedy or any other subject of intrigue, just as much as I would welcome the wonders and the mysteries that lay within its pages and the multiple layers of beauty that make up this wonderful capture.

What a wonderful tribute this comment is. I love old books, too, and am glad to know you enjoyed this little scene.
