Book of Hours, Dutch (Utrecht or Delft) [Add MS 50005]
f. 67r: Mermaid With a Mirror
Netherlands (c. 1410-1420)
Illuminated Manuscript (parchment codex), 125 x 90 mm.
I literally just find stuff like going through illuminated manuscripts (this one’s 179 pages) into the wee hours sometimes. They aren’t labeled, tagged, or marked in any way. No one told me they were there. And then I find something like this, and I get to share it with all of you.
Am I correct in thinking she’s one of those Black mermaids some people claim shouldn’t exist in fiction?
