Even today, the 1863 edition of the "Dictionnaire Infernal" is the stuff of nightmares.
This is a socio-political cartoon, C.1860. The phrase, The Arsenic Waltz alludes to the use of arsenic in dresses and artificial flowers. The illustration appeared in a British humour magazine, a few months after a worker in the fashion industry died of arsenic poisoning. Arsenic was everywhere in Victorian Britain. Although it was known to be used as a murder weapon, the cheap, natural element was used in clothing, candles, curtains, and wallpaper. Because it dyed fabric bright green, arsenic also ended up in dresses, gloves, shoes, and artificial flower wreaths that women used to decorate their hair and clothes. It would be the perfect card to give to a lover of antique skeletal art, medical illustrations, or just for that special someone.

In the Middle Ages, travelers brought home tales from all over the globe of wondrous and fantastic plants and beasts—but many of these travelers were just relaying stories they’d heard instead of things they’d actually seen. These stories, in turn, were w

Ecuadorian artist Beto Val alchemizes vintage illustrations into bizarre compositions that blend fruits with fowl and aquatic life with land animals. Using imagery available through the public domain, Val cuts and repositions fins, wings, and scaly talons into surreal creatures: round owl faces peer out from pineapples, autumn leaves sprout from tropical birds, and a rendering evocative of a biological chart displays fish with bodies made of strawberries, brains, and an early, industrial locomotive.
