Under the window 2nd from left is Thomas Cranmer who wrote the 42 Articles in 1552. In her book The King's Bedpost: Reformation and Iconography in a Tudor Group Portrait (1994, p. 72), Margaret Aston compares the iconoclastic scene to prints depicting the destruction of the Tower of Babel (Philip Galle after Maarten van Heemskerck, 1567). And from her book I learned, that this is not a "window". It is an inset.license:Public domain

Info about artworkdescription: The solemn yet harried preparation for a holiday feast is usually the image accompanying the December calendar in a Book of Hours. The image displayed here is a rare and delightful departure from convention. Through color the artist has beautifully captured the chill of a winter day, and he skillfully conveys the excitement of a snowball fight. All is not play, however, for in the distant background, work still goes on. But for a wonderful moment, the world is a playground.

8title: Sir Henry Wellcome and J. Baiz, his guide Wellcome M0007869
artist: unknown
description:
Sir henry Wellcome (left) and J. Bazi, his guide and interpreter, during his journey through Central America. In 1878, the 25 year-old henry Wellcome set out on an expedition to explore the native Chinchona forests of Ecuador. The bark of Chinchona trees was the prime source of pure quinine, an extract used to treat malaria.
At the time Wellcome was working as a salesman for the well-known American pharmaceutical firm of McKesson & Robbins. Wellcome's account of his travels - published at length in pharmaceutical journals on both sides of the Atlantic - established his name amongst his trade peers.
The article paints a vivid picture of a young man with an inquiring mind and a taste for adventure.
