"Songs of Shakespeare" is a hand-illuminated manuscript created in 1865 by British artist Harriette Charlotte Hoskyns Abrahall. The work is a beautiful example of the Victorian era's fascination with literature and natural history. The page depicts a lush garden scene with birds, insects, and flowers, accompanied by lines from Shakespeare's plays. This miniature-sized artwork is now a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcasing the talent of this lesser-known artist.
