Detail of a leaf in a medieval manuscript: folio 44 verso in Cambridge, Pembroke College manuscript 301. The gold-haloed head of an evangelist peeks up from the lower edge of the image. Above this curve 2 concentric arches linked together by a decorative rosette, all rendered in shiny gold leaf with burgundy, pine, and cobalt paints. In front of the arches, springing across the page, stretches a yellow lion sporting green and red wings and a glittering halo of burnished gold. Rearing up on hind legs, the beast grasps a golden book in its front paws, and throws back its head to sound the long blue trumpet extending from its mouth.

    Detail of a leaf in a medieval manuscript: folio 50 verso in Girton College, manuscript 1. At left, the edge of a painted border of green, purple, and blue flowers. To the right of this, 6 lines of Latin text copied in black and red ink, with the first 5 lines indented to make space for a miniature, painted in colours and gold, of Saint Margaret bursting from the belly of the dragon which consumed her. Flaxen-haired and haloed, the saint smiles beatifically, clad in a richly cocoa-hued robe and grasping a small gold cross in her hands. Beneath her sprawls the winged and horned dragon. The large scarlet beast grips the edge of the saint’s robe in its mouth and smiles up at her with adoring eyes. Behind the pair, a verdant landscape stretches off into the distance.

    Who would like a double-reflection beaver shot? The bow wave created from this beaver's rapid swimming is like a curved mirror, so you get a reflection of the beaver, and a reflection of the reflection!
