Nice Etchings

Paradigmata Graphices variorum Artificum, Jan de Bisschop. What seems to be an uncompleted digitisation from manuscriptorium - european digital library of written cultural heritage. I thought I'd grab a few images before they finished it and slapped their watermarks all over them.

Youth

Illustrations from Jugend (1896 to 1940). I've found the most convenient way to navigate is to (after selecting a year), click on the title page and then select the 'Vorschau' tab. You'll then be presented with every page from that issue as a clickable thumbnail.
