https://www.fromoldbooks.org/ModerneKunst-03/pages/plate-067-burn-the-witch/
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).

https://www.fromoldbooks.org/Knight-LondonVolII/pages/001-sir-christopher-wren/
If you ask someone from the UK for the name of an architect there’s a good chance they’ll say Christopher Wren. Best known for St. Paul’s Cathedral, and rebuilding after the 1666 Fire of London, designing over 50 churches.
Taken from London, ed. Charles Knight; Tufts has it in TEI XML but no download link i could find. Hah! I have the physical book to scan!

Three of about 12 images from an 1865 article about spiritists, people using mediums to communicate with the dead. Hugely popular in 1860s.
The article purports to be a translate of an English factual account, hah!.
The dresser looks like a robot :) Pus i get to use #undeadBeetles as a tag!

https://www.fromoldbooks.org/Brennecke-WechselDerTage/pages/065-abendlied-ruined-castle-gateway/
A German poem, Abendlied, or, Evening song by Friedrich Rückert was in the blank area in this full-page illustration.
Signed i think HARLEY, prolly John J. Harley, about whom i know very little. The engraver made the lines for the sky a bit wonky, and it was hard to avoid interference fringes on downsizing.

Danaë, mother of Perseus. One can almost imagine the sky-god Zeus watching her dance here.
It was a little startling to open this huge book (some 400mm/16 inches tall) and see this full-page painting reproduced: you can almost feel the brush strokes.
It’s always tempting to increase chorma/saturation & make a more modern-feeling picture!

There’s what i think is meant to be an anti-English joke about how slowly they (we) drink beer associated with this, but Google Translate mangled it, i think. See the link - can anyone help with a better translation?
At any rate he seems to be a very ugly boy, but maybe it’s the hair giving him a skinhead look.

https://www.fromoldbooks.org/Jugend-1900/pages/16-269-justice-with-lion/
Here we see justice as represented in classical art - the blindfold of impartiality (hah) started appearing in the 15th or 16th century.
I have no idea about steaming hearts (?) in her hands, nor about the women on either side, nor what the right-hand person is standing upon. Nor the bird on her helmet actually. Clearly i am no art historian!
Any ideas?

https://www.fromoldbooks.org/Various-MusaeumHermeticum/pages/345-putrefactio-dragon/
A knight, on foot, fighting a dragon. The image was captioned Putrefactio, or, rot, and seems to be an allegory of the knight fighting rot. It could be an early ad for bleach, but no, it’s more likely the inner journey of purification we must go through, in this occult book on the Philosopher’s Stone.

A locket, maybe, or medallion, a medal with a ribbon for your neck. With a castle on it. Jugend magazine, 1900.
It could almost be Neuschwanstein castle, and i think it very likely that was the intent.
The artist, Ernst Neumann-Neander, of Munich, also designed motorbikes.

I don’t know a lot about the artist here, Eugen Ludwig Hoess (1855 – 1955), beyond what i put in the notes; copyright ended on his work this January. He was best known for his work in Jugend magazine, including this one, and his theme of people living in nature.
Jugend was the Ray Gun Magazine of the 1900s.

The Catapult, 1868, Edward Poynter.
Complete with naked Roman soldiers.
The tip of the arrow is glowing red hot in the original painting.
The book implies Poynter failed to capture movement in this piece, by focusing too much on detail. Not sure i entirely agree, what do you think?

The reconciliation is between—well, that would spoil the surprise, but you can go read the poem, it won’t fit here.
Thomas was known for his careful attention to light and detail and it shows.

A bookplate is a pre-printed label people would stick inside their books so when people borrowed them, they knew where to return them. “Ex libris” is also used for a bookplate, being Latin for from the library of.
This Jugendstile (Art Nouveau) one was made by Otolia Kraszewska, a Polish artist.
Update: the name at the bottom is Lily von Poschinger - thanks, @ajinkyapdahale

The Effect of the League - 2nd of 3 images (3rd to follow), from 1594.
The league here is probably the Ligue Catholique or Sante Ligue, and relates to opposition to king Henri IV of France, who was Protestant.
Cleaned up with GIMP including the G'MIC despeckle filter for the lower right quadrant.

This #chromolithography example shows the inside of the chapel St. John’s College Cambridge. This picture was made around 1840; later, in 1860, the chapel was demolished & replaced with a Victorian Gothic Revival thing by Sir Gilbert Scott.
At least six colours here i think, so 6 plates, although sometimes they overprinted to get mixed colours.

Artist Eugène Viollet-le-Duc (1814 – 1879) was known for his reconstructions of mediæval French ruins; Coucy, shown here, however, was not a ruin until German Soldiers left it towards the end of WOrld War I, and demolished most of it, 15 years after this drawing was made.
The perspective on the top of the tower makes me slightly uneasy 🙂
Floor plan to follow in a few days.
