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!

Figxhibit 2:
Adam Lonicer, Kreuterbuch, 1598. In the much expanded ed., figs (like most ingredients) help with the plague and other diseases.
