		His influence not only extended to other private presses in England, on the continent and in America, it also caused a keen interest in design integrity from influential members of the trade press.

		The style and subject matter, like all work done by the Pre-Raphaelites, rejects the modern age and all it stands for and looks back with nostalgia to medieval times which were viewed as a purer age with people more honorable and objects and surroundings untouched by the ugliness of mechanization and industrialization.
		These merrily frolicking women are from a Burne-Jones engraving in the Kelmscott Chaucer and part of the Romance of the Rose tale, a most popular novel in medieval times.
		Although probably intended as a Christian statement, the style adopted, a wheel cross atop a shaft, echoes the symbol for the pagan Norse deity, Odin, which was a cross inside a circle.

		The effect produced by the intensely fl Kelmscott ink, which rides on the surface of the vellum instead of sinking into paper, is a stunning one.

	Travel Paintings by Peter Etril Snyder
		Busloads of tourists from around the world, sometimes with their own foreign speaking guides, avid gardeners from England, North America and the continent making copious jottings, and young backpackers just stopping in to see what the fuss is all about, combine to create havoc on the stone-paved walkways.
		I used photographs that I had taken in England of the Cotswold area as the basis to compose the painting that is shown here.
		The Cotswolds area of England presents so many possible opportunities to paint that it seems almost like a movie set, given the number of thatched "fl and whites" and cottages built of a softly faded Naples yellow-coloured limestone.
