<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This collection of over 250 powerful, profound, and playful images has been selected by an internationally renowned Facebook curator.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In 2013 picture researcher and former publisher Stephen Ellcock began selecting imagery and posting them on his <i>Visual Rapture</i> Facebook page. Five years and 300,000 followers later, Ellcock has an international following who avidly await his daily uploads and his carefully curated and sequenced albums of images. His selections of little known and public domain imagery regularly attain thousands or shares or comments from all around the world. All give thanks for the uplifting nature of his selections.<br></br>Taking his title from the first ever Encyclopedia in the English language, <i>All Good Things</i> (Omne Bonum)this new compendium of art and photography inspired by both the natural world and human endeavour will appeal both to his digital followers and our image-focused, solace-seeking times. Providing meditative focus and visual exhilaration - Ellcock celebrates our humanity and inspires us to wonder once more. <br></br><i>All Good Things</i> is structured to evoke the medieval tradition of exquisite, illuminated books - beginning with the universal and travelling through the realms of sky, sea, earth, science and humanity before ending amongst the angels and monsters that have so preoccupied artists over the centuries. <br></br>Using found artwork from archives, libraries and little-known collections of art, illustration, photography and textiles this is a glorious adventure; one that can be appreciated on many levels. There will be introductions to each chapter as well as recommended image lists for enjoyment, restoration, inspiration. Carefully selected quotes from poets from thinkers, writers and scientists will counterpoint images perfectly and add to the richness of this beautifully produced book.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Your collection of glorious images is one of the most reliably edifying and entertaining things in my day." -- <b>Mark Haddon, author of <i>The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime</i></b><br></br>"The best thing on Facebook...
