Jen here to enthusiastically introduce todays very special edition, which were launching in support and celebration of my dear friend Glynnis MacNicols new memoir. Im Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself is a luminous account of her adventures in Paris just as the world was beginning to emerge from the first wave of the pandemic. Theres a lot of excitement around this book, and its contents and its cover have generated a soupon of controversy too. Our modern society just isnt sure what to do with a mature, independent woman who wholeheartedly pursues joie and fulfillment on her own terms and apparently they (we?) just cant handle the female form either, even if the form in question happens to be a 1745 painting that hangs in the freaking Louvre. Naturally, we decided to make a print based on the original Boucher work thats featured on the book cover, and are delighted that Glynnis herself wrote an introduction about the painting for us.
