I have always been fascinated with dictionary pictures . . . the hard dark lines that image language. I am especially fond of the accompanying notations that flit about the drawing; (a) e. See. . . References to parts of a whole (1 - 7 with a legend below). Black and White/Stark and Bold; clear delineation. But there is also the vivid flush and hue; cream atop the milk; blush on the cheek.
