Karen’s Whimsy

Medieval Crusades Map Illustration

I am thoroughly fascinated by history (especially the Middle Ages) and I love to unashamedly indulge in the elaborate, romanticised version of Medieval history that appears in books, films and illustrations. For this reason, I was very excited to stumble upon Karen’s Whimsy, a website containing hundreds of public domain vintage images of everything from King Arthur of Camelot and Medieval Knights to Victorian, Renaissance and other Vintage Fashion. In fact, I believe there are even some images of Molluscs and a section devoted to Celtic Knot Patterns.
