    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.

  2. If you need a determined-looking #cherub pointing like a superhero, i’ve got one - fromoldbooks.org/Darboy-Imitat

    Guess what! Rotate the picture and he points downwards! He’s so obedient!

    The distinction between cherubs and putti (singular putto) became blurred over the years. Biblical angels did not have #wings, but seraphim and cherubs now...

    The #boy has badly-drawn feet and a head that’s too old, but hey, he’s free.
