On these winter days it feels like the wind is coming from 4 directions at once as it does in this #handcolored #WheelofFortune by #HansWeiditz II. From the German version of Petrarch’s “De remediis utriusque fortunae” ca. 1560.

Hard to believe these cute cartoons are by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, pre-Raphaelite master. They are part of our small collection of correspondence from Burne-Jones & his wife Georgiana.
