Don't you think the child has chosen exactly the right amount of muscle power and effort to handle the tough flower? Delicate touch of a lion.
Extremely rare nineteenth century silk shawl. Woven from magenta silk "alaari" that reached Nigeria through the trans-Saharan caravan trade, used for both warp and weft, with narrow stripes of white handspun cotton at the centre and selvedge of each strip. A central block of openwork patterning, in which holes are created in the strip by tying groups of warp threads with an extra weft, provides the main decorative feature of this shawl type. The openwork block is framed on both sides and at the lower edge by supplementery weft float motifs in green imported cotton. Use of expensive silk in this quantity would have been very unusual and very prestigious, and very few of these delicate and fragile cloths were woven. Even less will have surived intact and this is only the second complete example we have seen. It is very worn and fragile but complete and intact. I shall be posting on my blog about these early shawls soon. Measurements: 78 ins x 43ins, 199 cm x 110.

Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, the La Sal mountains are in the far background. Taken with a Kodak Star focus free 35mm film point and shoot, and scanned in photoshop.
Delicate Arch is a 52 ft (16 m) tall freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah.
It is the most widely-recognized landmark in Arches National Park and is depicted on both Utah license plates and a postage stamp commemorating Utah's centennial anniversary of statehood in 1996. The Olympic torch relay for the 2002 Winter Olympics passed through the arch.

Nps.gov: People come from all over the world to visit Arches National Park, and visiting Delicate Arch is on the top of many visitors' to-do lists. In a park with over 2,000 stone arches, this particular free-standing arch has become a widely recognized symbol of the state of Utah and one of the most famous geologic features in the world.
The light opening beneath the arch is 46 feet high and 32 feet wide, making it the largest free-standing arch in the park. It has had more than a few names in its history, from the colorful ("Cowboy's Chaps", "Old Maid's Bloomers") to the prosaic ("Salt Wash Arch"). The term "Delicate" first appeared in a January 1934 article about the Arches National Monument Scientific Expedition, which described it as "the most delicately chiseled arch in the entire area."
It's difficult to see Delicate Arch from the main park road; you must get out of the car to view it. At Lower Delicate Arch Viewpoint, you can walk a level 100 yards (91 m) to see the arch from one mile away. Nearby, the Upper Viewpoint (0.5 mi / 0.8 km walk with stairs) offers a slightly less obstructed view.
The trail to see Delicate Arch up close and personal is 3 miles (4.8 km) roundtrip and climbs 480 feet (146m). Along this steadily uphill trail, you'll also pass the Wolfe Ranch cabin and a wall of Ute Indian petroglyphs.

A detail of the painting hanging in main room of the Roberson Mansion. From what little I have been able to find out, Eugene Carroll-Kelly was primarily known as a fashion illustrator, and that is born out in the detail of the clothing and background. At the same time, Claire Sharpe is shown as an engaged and interested person, sitting gracefully, holding a paintbrush. It is quite a lovely portrait.
