I have a peacock-heavy piece of art out next month so with that grasping for spurious relevance here’s a few more peacock discoveries.
Antoine Helbert‘s untitled peacock man is one of a number of striking portraits turning humans into birds. Via Chateau Thombeau.
Peacock styles, Anchor Buggy Co. (1897) at the Library of Congress.
Tile Plaque (1909–1911) by Frederick Hurten Rhead & Agnes Rhead at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Carson’s Peacock Chocolate (1924) by “Shep” at mikeyashworth’s photostream.
Also at Flickr, various photos of the peacock window façade of the Pastisseria Escriba, Barcelona.
