Shelf Potential

Beauty and the Beast (1991) has one of THE definitive fantasy libraries (and library fantasies) which caused myself and a huge number of others to include "library with library ladder" in our imaginings about a perfect space. My dreams are only slightly disrupted by the fact that I'm nearly 6 feet tall and perfectly able to reach books on tall shelves without ladders. I'll just add double height ceilings to my fantasy.

In designing this print, I was thinking a lot about potential, and libraries. An empty shelf may seem less than ideal on the surface, but consider that it has space for your inevitably growing book collection! I have always loved empty rooms for the potential they hold. An empty sace can become anything. A new book has the potential to become your favourite.
