Animated Flowers!
Grandville's Les Fleurs Animées of 1847 slyly turn florally-attired women into colorful cautionary tales. Particularly love the tippling tit (or is that swigging sparrow?) in the grapevine illustration!

Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?
This etching seems suspiciously like a reference to Hans Baldung Grien's feral horses woodcuts from 1534! The rare impression on the right is from the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco: https://t.co/ECvKPMEENT

I loved the series with Mr Wicker's Window and Sign of the Seven Seas by Carley Dawson! Time travel, piracy, and illustrations by Lynd Ward! There was even a nod to my hometown, Washington DC! https://t.co/rpWFzJWVtb
