https://www.fromoldbooks.org/Aubrey-HistoryOfEngland-Vol2/pages/438-Border-of-twigs/
A Victorian engraved full-page border drawn to look like twigs. This originally contained portraits of King Henry VIII of England and his six (sequential) wives - https://fromoldbooks.org/r/5/pages/438-King-Henry-VIII-and-His-Six-Wives/
Henry had to have a legitimate heir in order to prevent another War of the Roses.
Borders like this are great for menus, weddings, name cards, jam labels, all sorts.

Desecration!
Rušení posvŕtných hájů lípových, or, Disruption of sacred linden groves.
It seems a bunch of yobbos have invaded a sacred ritual held in a clearing in a forest.
The treatment of light and shade is exquisite in this 1884 engraving, published in a book “Bohemia: oint work of Czech writers and artists”, by František Adolf Šubert, lead, and František Adolf Borovský, co-editor.

https://www.fromoldbooks.org/Subert-Cechy-Vol2/pages/131-initial-letter-v-with-mermaid/
A decorated letter V for a dropped capital, formally an inhabited initial, from an 1884 book about Vltava in Bohemia (Czechia). The V has a mermaid in it, & fishes & an eel swim about her. She’s naked (do mermaids wear clothes?).
Decorated initials are used in print at the start of a chapter, or at the start of a section without a title so you can find it easily.

Battle of Knights
Drawing by (i think) Hugo Vogel (1855-1934)
Men are being nasty to one another, as men are wont to do, some on foot and some riding horses, in this close mêlée or fight. It’s a vignette from the titel page of “Gaskonští Kadeti” (1906) by Henri de Gorsse and Joseph Jaquin, a Czech edition of the French Les Cadets de Cascogne, a swashbuckling novel in the spirit of Star Trek.

A Christmas Gift from 1901
The waiter in his top hat has quite the platter, not to mention a basket of bottles of wine. Amazon delivery was never this good.
Chromolithograph (i think) from 1901 German magazine Moderne Kunst, vol 15 by Edward Cucel (1879-1954 so no commercial use until January). Picture was approx A4 sized.

A full-page border that surrounded a page in “The Art of Illuminating As Practised in Europe from the Earliest Times” by W R Tymms (London, UK, 1860). A fabulous book i bought at Geoffry Aspin’s bookshop in Hay-on-Wye in the 1980s.
I made versions in different colours; you can also use the Colour tab on the Web page to change colour. It’s one of the most popular images i’ve posted.

Llanthony Priory, Vally of the Honddu, Wales, UK, from a 1905 photograph.
The priory was built around 1200 by Augustinian monks, but was closed at the Dissolution in the 16th century, and fell into a ruin; it was partly reused as a farm.
Process: Rembrandt Photogravure.

Another #arthurRackham picture; i have a few books that he illustrated, and his illustrations are now out of copyright.
Alas, they are all (if in colour) printed with the four-colour process, which actively resists scanning. I’ve wondered about training an “AI”, although others have reported poor results.
Anyway, here is Adrtift, from The Snow Queen.
