21 Oct 04 - 07:44 PM (#1303352) Subject: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: Joybell I really like those Victorian pictures of Guardian Angels saving little children from danger. Like - Little curly-headed boy leans over precipice to pick a flower BUT Angel is there ready to pluck him from the cliff-edge. Or - Little boy and girl fall in front of galloping horses AND Angel is right there waiting to save them. I have a few, there are some sheet music covers on this theme, and I'm sure there are many more out there in cyberspace but they're hidden among other Angel pictures. I don't turn them up often. If anyone finds some in their travels on the net, I'd be grateful. It's the rescue idea I like rather than just the Watching Angel or the Angel of Death. Don't know why they interest me, actually. Maybe it's just that they are part of my grandmother's world. None of them are great art and most are really rather bad art, I think. Joy |

21 Oct 04 - 07:50 PM (#1303357) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: McGrath of Harlow Try google images with angel or angel + children. Here is one to be going on with. |

21 Oct 04 - 08:04 PM (#1303369) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: Joybell So quick, McGrath. Thank you. Here I was saying nice things about you on another thread and you were over here helping me. "Angel" always gives me too much and I thought I'd tried Angel+ children but I'll give it another go. Thanks again. Joy |

21 Oct 04 - 09:16 PM (#1303411) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: McGrath of Harlow Thanks for that - here's a variant on that one, with black children and a black angel. |

21 Oct 04 - 10:44 PM (#1303469) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: CarolC I Googled "guardian angel". It turned up McGrath's first one and some others. Here's a few from that search: http://www.puzzlehistory.com/grdagl3.jpg http://www.christcenteredmall.com/stores/art/hahlbohm/guardian-angel-zoom.jpg http://www.skeptiseum.org/images/guardian_angel.jpg http://www.vansciverbobbinlace.com/Guardian%20Angel.jpeg http://members.shaw.ca/zidonja/guardian%20angel%20water%20colour%2022x28.jpg |

Hey, I feel wonderful right now. To start the day right, just google for Angels first thing in the morning! Thanks for asking, Joybell. |

22 Oct 04 - 10:15 AM (#1303872) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: Dave the Gnome They're good, Rap, but I dunno if he saves any children. Mind you, Marks and Spencers do some good kids clothes so perhaps they have saved some kids. On the other hand he is also the patron saint of Brussels and I don't know any kids that like sprouts. I think I must be loosing the plot somewhere... :D |

22 Oct 04 - 10:37 AM (#1303888) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: *daylia* For the record, saving the kiddies is Gabe's job . Looks like Mike's busy enough as is. In Houston, anyway. :-) |

22 Oct 04 - 05:58 PM (#1304206) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: Joybell Photos Mrrzy? You have photos of Angels? WOW! Paintings OK though. Angels probably don't want you sharing their photos around. Thanks everyone. I really like the dangerous ones. Pity about the flying goanna though. I rather like goannas and they are usually so inoffensive and shy. Losing the plot is part of the fun when you make a Mudcat request. I've started a separate collection for the non-rescue angels. Don't quite know where to put the Gabe one. If those little children fell from that high pedestal they could get a nasy injury. Maybe that one goes in the rescuing-angel box. Guest shh. I love that one. Thank you. daylia, the thought provoking one is weird. Hmmm have to ponder that one. Thank you again all. Joy |

22 Oct 04 - 07:04 PM (#1304258) Subject: RE: BS: What is the Angel's intent? From: Joybell I know what it is about the rescue-Angel that interests me. Several points. Ponder these. 1. The contrast between reality and these paintings. They appeared at or shortly after a time when little kids were working and dying in the mines. Or in chimneys. Or on the street. Where were the rescue-Angels? They were waiting in dangerous places. Often at rivers and gorges. That's where they were! 2. Are they really rescue-Angels at all? Are they just waiting to carry away the souls of accident victims? 3. Are they the last remnants of Water-Spirits, actually ready to lure mortals into the water. Like it was for Hylas and Narcissis and later Henry Lee and George Collins? 4. Or maybe they are unable to reverse a death and can only modify it by giving eternal life to souls? Rather like the Good-Faerie at Sleeping Beauty's birthday party. 5. Are even the pretty Angels hovering around childrens' beds there just in case a child should die in the night. Are they Faeries waiting for a chance to do a quick switch-a-roo with a Faerie-changling? 6. Angels on battlefields can't (won't?) stop wars. That's enough! And you thought it was sweetness and peace that I was into. Cheers and stay away from Angels until we know more about them, I say. Joy |

23 Oct 04 - 11:52 AM (#1304808) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: *daylia* Strange - I google for "rescue angels" and the first images that come up are like this and that and these and those. Hmmm - the word "Angel" sure seems to be all-compassing! |

23 Oct 04 - 12:03 PM (#1304821) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: Nigel Parsons *daylia* your second link is a good one. You say the word "Angel" sure seems to be all-compassing!. Have you noticed the outline of the flames directly behind the recue scene? Nigel |

23 Oct 04 - 12:25 PM (#1304830) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: *daylia* yeah, I liked that image too Nigel. Those Angel Wings will lift you high or let you fry, I guess! And I think the planes are called "Japanese Blue Angels". Search and rescue, probably. |

23 Oct 04 - 05:40 PM (#1305077) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: Joybell Thanks *daylia*. It's not that easy to find the old rescue-Angels is it? I like the fire one too. Seems to follow on with the old idea. Not so pretty of course. And the dog - well you'd be willing to call him an angel if you needed him. I had a Shepherd just like that once. A wonderful friend. He liked to rescue children from water - paddle pools, puddles, creeks, swimming-pools. Didn't matter that they weren't in need of help, he saved them anyway. Perhaps he was a reborn Angel. It seems the bridge-Angel was a popular idea. I found lots of variations. Followed on from McGrath's lead for the first one and used CarolC's image search method. Hadn't noticed that before. Thanks Carol. I still haven't found the painting I once saw that involves an Angel about to save?/carry away the souls? of two little kids in danger of being run down by horses and a carriage. Or Angels saving shipwreck children. I did find an Angel on a rock in the sea with a lamb in his arms. The poor Australian sheep sent out to sea? Hope so! They could use an Angel or two! Anyway Thanks *daylia* The collection is growing. Joy |

23 Oct 04 - 06:44 PM (#1305136) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: McGrath of Harlow Don't forget Tobias and the Angel. The Angel this time is Raphael, and though the lad he helps, Tobias, is a bit older than the children, the Angel does have a dog with him. |

23 Oct 04 - 08:11 PM (#1305201) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: Joybell OOOOOH! Got lost in the Dore ones. Thanks McGrath. The mother tiger trying to save her little cubs from the deluge! They got rescued by Angels didn't they? Please tell me they did! AND the bears eating the children!! The kids called the bearded fellow "Silly old beard" or something didn't they? And he had them killed by bears. Have to look it up again. Does my heart good to put the kids who teased me and called me names, at school, into the picture. (Although they didn't call me "silly old beard" exactly). Joy |

24 Oct 04 - 02:30 PM (#1305754) Subject: RE: BS: Seeking pictures: Angel saves child(ren) From: Nigel Parsons Joybell: Sounds like the story of Elisha in II Kings "And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them" Or, as filker Zander Nyrond put it in Backward Christian Soldiers "Talk about the Bible"? Oh indeed, let's do. Many things confuse me: Do they bug you too? If the children mock me For my lack of hairs, Should I, like Elisha, have them Eaten up by bears? CHORUS Nigel |

24 Oct 04 - 06:36 PM (#1306008) Subject: RE: BS: Child-eating bears, Angels and Fuzzy-Felt From: Joybell Thanks Nigel. Yes True-Love reminded me of the details of the story, but we couldn't remember exactly where it was. None of our Bibles give references for "bears". We weren't told it at Sunday school. Would have been a good one in fuzzy-felt. Also kids should be warned about men like Elisha (and God), I reckon. (True-Love, being American didn't have fuzzy-felt stories, but we Aussies and the English Mudcatters will remember it.) If you've never seen "Joseph and his Coat of Many Colours" in fuzzy-felt I feel very sad for you. |
