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’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.

This could be either Jesus or John, but probably Jesus.
This figure was floating in the left-hand side of a full-page border used in Darboy’s 1855 edition of the Imitation of Christ; there are full-page borders on every page, but they repeat.

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.

The Coucy Castle drawing with the letters showing the parts; i posted the version without letters some time ago.
Is it better to edit posts & add images, or to make more posts? Well, it’s a fun drawing anyway 🙂 despite wonly perspective!

A full-page border, or page surround, featuring Christian religious figures, birds, and a crocodile or dragon (which is intended? i am uncertain). It’s from an 1855 edition of Imitation of Christ.

This 1590s cradle is still kept at his mother’s house, Stirling Castle (in case he returns as a zombie prince?)
This is the same King James who ordered the Authorized Version of the Bible, known popularly as the King James Bible, to be made.

A large book, maybe 14 or 16 inches high, with a bright cover. The book is a retelling of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, or a novel based on it, i’m not sure.
Usually i don’t post the covers here, but this one is quite fun.

From a version of The Pied Piper of Hamelyn by Wolff, Julius: “Der Rattenfänger von Hameln: Eine Aventiure” (1890).
Here Lorenz goes down into the castle cellar to confront the ghosts - but they turn out to be rats.
Drawn by Paul Thumann & engraved by Richard Brend’amour.

A setting for a poem (see link) about keeping a sense of childish joy and wonder as we grow older.
Everyone on this beach is fully clothed, including shoes and socks, which suggests to me a somewhat restrained sense of joy and wonder.
No artist or engraver credited. And is that a seagull eating a squirrel at upper left?

https://www.fromoldbooks.org/Various-LeisureHour-1896/pages/573-securing-the-irons/
Leg-irons are considered torture by the UN today (although they are used routinely in some countries) and can cause serious injury long term, but this picture and the article were over a hundred years ago. The prisoners wore different coloured hats depending on the length of their sentence.
Used a larger image to see if it comes out better.
