When Laurence began working in 1894 as book designer and illustrator for The Bodley Head, Clemence created the engravings for his illustrations, including those for her novel, The Were-Wolf, published in 1896. She went on to write two more books.

I mean, okay. Had Ricœur written this book, the title would extend to page four, just less intelligibly, and almost certainly without fairytalish insect engravings from which Carroll could have spun Through the Looking-Glass. Ricœur would have probably got the Watts treatment.

my only comment on the whole OW2 stuff is it's a bit of a shame all the cool engravings got sanded off of Pharah. It made her sci-fi a bit more unique

These four images are from a series of five German engravings of Momento Mori at the British Museum. Alexander Mair created the engravings and they date all the way back to 1605.

Directly imported from China, shunga refers to a form of ukiyo-e-style engravings dedicated to eroticism that were particularly popular in the Edo period (1600–1868). Literally, the term shunga (春 画), derived from the Chinese chungonghua, translates to "images of spring"

Some fairy-tale images are forever, & Doré’s 1862 wood-engravings, for The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods, are just that to me. I love the gothic arch of trees & tangled growth that the prince must face alone. Doré always cast a spell.
