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).

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!.

A sketch by Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones, Cupid’s Hunting Ground, shows Cupid as an older boy or young man, blindfolded, about to choose a young woman.

Uness he decides to go for the artist instead 🙂

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?

Picture by Tom Graham (1840-1906) engraved by the Dalziels in Good Words, for a poem “Reconciled” by English poet Jean Ingelow.

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.

I checked some early photos, all the way to 1910 or so, and indeed the firemen in Constantinople were generally barefoot. It seems not an occupation well suited to bare feet!

Probably the rodents running around on the bowl of the J are black rats, by their shape and tails; common in Europe and carried the plague.

It was narrow-gauge, 2'6", and would have been more cramped than the third picture suggests.

After a painting by Fernand Pelez, a Spanish-born artist living in Paris known for painting beggars and the homeless, circus performers, and the poor.

Genre paintings like this became popular in the 19th century, alongside more traditional formal classical portraits and hunting or battle scenes. Often they are very idealised, but i think not here.

A Roman soldier, Gaius Mucius Scaevola, famous for his bravery in the siege of Rome.

[it’s actually a gruesome story so details are on the Web page if interested]

This is (i think) a chromolithograph, printed (in Barcelona in 1881) from multiple plates, one per solid colour. A clean scan and easy for #GIMP to process.

A somewhat gruesome scene from Tomb Thumb, illustrated by Gustave Doré, in the bedroom of the giant ogre & his wife.

The emotions of the children (who actually appear to be shrunken adults in the picture) and of the wife are especially well portrayed.

Probably an electrotype copy of the original plate, with cracks i partly fixed in #GIMP3

Victorian engravers were often incredibly skilled. What looks at first sight to be a quick sketch can be very skilfully put together.
