It always feels wrong to cut up a book, but sometimes there’s nothing else to be done. Such was the case with the copy of In Praise Of Folly we found amongst a job lot of books. Having performed triage and ascertained that it was too far gone to be rescued I decided that the prints inside the book deserved rescuing.

After cutting them out of the book and trimming them I’ve started sticking the pictures- copies of engravings by Hans Holbein- onto blank cards. They’re available for £3 each from the Spinneyworld online store.
