The Hermit, The Devil, The Lovers, and Death...
Playing with designs.
"Hermes Alighting" by Glyn Philpot @PallantGallery brilliant new exhibition. There is something in the awkwardness of the landing that speaks volumes about this ragged prince of the heavens.
Also 'new to me' this evening three masks by Leonora Carrington for a 1959 production of The Tempest
If you have an interest in Vodou or African Traditional Religions in the New World, and/or amazing paperback covers you need to get yourself over to this new catalogue @MrMidian because I suspect this collection is going to sell quickly!

From "The Wonderful Life and Remarkable Death of John Faustus" by T & R Hughe (1808)
c.1920 some ex libris plates by Walter Helfenbein with devilish and occult themes, coming up for auction next week in Essex.
Every now and again I find these scans in a folder on my computer which I made years ago for something long forgotten but still can't bring myself to delete them.
Illustrations by Jan Parker for Peter Haining's "Witchcraft and Black Magic" which I remember as a Hamlyn paperback as a child
