From the book with the fab cover but not an engraving - an early use of a dot screen for fine art work. The largest sizes will print well in black and white, but test carefully for possible moiré patterns.

An article about a book of German poetry which used this drop cap.

One of the plates from the book whose cover i posted yesterday, this Albert von Keller painting shows a witch in a hypnotic trance, supposedly to negate pain. Plate is approx. 9x13 inches.

The artist was criticised for showing a teenager and in the wrong historical costume, but his goal was merely painting the trance (and, originally, a bare-breasted woman).

I fell in love with these huge (A3-size) books in Prague. I’ve seen the cover design described as pretentious (like me) but the full-page engravings are really fabulous.

The book only just fits on the scanner i use, with a few mm (eighth of an inch) to spare.

I’m not sure whether the frame here was part of Dobson’s painting, but i love it. Dobson’s paintings were known for the “innocence of the young”, a popular theme in England in the 2nd half of the 18th century.

There’s also a version with just the frame.

A chromolithograph, done with maybe a dozen different impressions each with its own solid colour to build up an image.

Penrhyn Castle was rebuilt c. 1830 using profits from slave labour, so it’s controversial today. Its also an unusual Neo-Norman castle.

Some of the more photogenic books whose images i’ve scanned for https://www.fromoldbooks.org/ - a photo i took back in 2007.

Charles Knight’s two-volume “Old England’ on the bottom is what started it all.

This line-drawing of an owl looks startlingly modern, with eyes wide as if in surprise, body twisted, wings spread for takeoff. It was in the bottom-left corner of a full-page border from Darboy’s 1855 edition of the Imitation of Christ.

This is a detail from the full-page border engraving i posted recently.

The censer, or thurible , burns incense, with the smoke representing prayers going up to heaven. Which is where the angels are when they are not in Ethiopia. So maybe this is a fallen angel?

Angels gained wings in the 4th century or so; Biblical angels don’t have them.
