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 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

A quarter-leather book cover with marbled boards
Strange to think there may be people who have not seen such a thing. Marbling was also very common on endpapers, stuck to the inside cover and the start of the book to help hold it together.
Marbling is almost a lost art today; e.g. fewer than 12 pro marblers left in the UK.
