This ladybird has been "caught in the act".......(honestly, anyone would think the house was on fire!), scurrying across the page, complete with their definition from my 1907 dictionary. I am a children's book/greetings card/live sketch Illustrator by day......but by night, I seek out, "on their last legs" dictionaries to illustrate on, rescuing them from skips, charity shops and landfill. I work very much with sustainability in mind and just love to give these beautiful old books (and accompanying words!) a new lease of life beginning a new story. I hope this piece makes you smile.
