The Scribleriad

From Table Talk, Volume 6, published 1891.

Solitude, from L'Artiste, 1844

Just went back through the early pages of the L'Artiste issue I was drawing from, and realized that although Google lists its publication as 1814, the publication itself lists 1844 (easy to misread). L'Artiste was published from 1834 to 1904.

L'Artiste, 1844

L'Artiste, 1844

The original, for comparison, from 1844 L'Artiste

L'Artiste, 1844; this seemed to be a flub of imaging (there is a high-res version of this a few pages prior, and I suspect this was the ghostly impression left behind on a waxy leaf), but I love the effect.

From L'Artiste, 1844 (inspired by oldbookillustrations!)

From Little Folks, Volume 22, Issue 2, from 1918; the magazine was "an illustrated monthly for the youngest readers."

From Vikram and the Vampire, translated by Richard Francis Burton, only loosely based on the original.
