Illustrator Nicolas Delort uses a scratchboard in a manner which evokes the engravings of #GustaveDoré. Here's his take on the classic Éowyn vs Witch-king encounter - A Woman's Courage. Yes, there are uncanonical details, but look at that dismount from the Witch-king... #Tolkien
Milk maid in St James's Park, London, with the Horseguards Parade Clock Tower in the distance, thank you @GeorgeVertue for the identification! Stipple engraving, after James Northcote, c. 1820. Now the artist would need to include @TheLondonEye
Today is the anniversary of the birth of Emily Brontë, author of 'Wuthering Heights.' This edition was published in 1931 by Random House and features 12 wood engravings by Clare Leighton.

Updated Sunn's ref a bit
Gave him some engravings, updated his halberd, and fixed his cape design.
Today is the Feast of the Apostle James ('the Greater'), son of Zebedee. James is traditionally remembered as the first apostle to be martyred. This hand-coloured engraving is taken from a 1710 edition of the Book of Common Prayer [H5145.A4 1710[**]]
So let's start with the incredible cursed pirates of #POTC 2 by the artist Crash McCreey.
McCreery (Jurassic Park, Batman etc..) comes from the Stan Winston School. He designed the pirates inspired by the old engravings of the nineteenth century. This is glorious.
A seasonal favourite wood engraving by Gertrude Hermes. "A Creation". Large sunflower head, nude couple kneeling, embracing & holding baby at centre of flower, animals & insects surrounding, mountainous landscape with comets & shooting stars 1927. @cwtch_up @ANGELACHARDING
Today is the day we celebrate the Serpentes, those long, scaly, cold-blooded, legless squamates. In celebration, we present a few chromolithographs and wood engravings of snakes doing what snakes do: threatening, crushing, swallowing things, and just hanging out, looking cool.
