Carlos de Haes, fue el introductor del paisaje de carácter realista en España. Este lienzo fue uno de los últimos realizados por el pintor, en 1883, y aunque está captado de una manera naturalista, sabemos que el pintor nunca visitó Egipto. No se trata de un paisaje tomado del natural, sino de una reelaboración desarrollada en el taller del artista (a pesar de que fue precisamente Haes quien se opuso con mayor resistencia a la visión subjetiva del Romanticismo). Con seguridad, la temática de esta obra no sería nada inventado, sino ampliamente documentado a través de algún libro de viajes o, de alguna fotografía de las que circulaban entre los estudios de diferentes artistas.
White Buffalo - my favourite Angus McBride cryptozoological/mythological illustration from the back covers of Finding Out (Angus McBride) As readers of my ShukerNature blog for 18 September 2009 and my various Alien Zoo reports on this subject in Fortean Times will know, ever since I first learnt of them way back in 1998 from Scottish cryptozoological enthusiast Alan Pringle I have been eagerly seeking sight of the 36 lavish, full-colour illustrations by the late, highly-acclaimed artist Angus McBride depicting a wide selection of cryptozoological and mythological entities that graced some of the back covers of the long-running children's weekly factual magazine Finding Out, which was published in Britain during the 1960s. Now at last, thanks to the kindness of correspondent Ivan Waldock, my wish has finally been granted. Not only is Ivan the proud possessor of all of these particular issues of Finding Out, he actually owns the original McBride artwork for five of them (namely, the Midgard Serpent, the Naga King, Cyclopses, the Leshy and Huitzilopochtli), and has very kindly emailed me jpg image files of all 36 of the illustrations, together with a full listing of them as they appeared in the magazine. So here is the listing, followed by, for the first time anywhere online, the full set of the near-legendary Angus McBride cryptozoological and mythological back cover illustrations from Finding Out; these particular issues were all published in 1966. Thanks again to Ivan for making this possible, and to Alan for originally bringing the existence of these wonderful works of art to my attention. Thanks also to Stephen Tomlin of Melbourne, Australia, who in November 2010 provided me with a partial listing of the covers based upon his own collection of some of the relevant Finding Out issues, and to Alex Lamprey who very kindly donated to me recently his own collection of seven of those issues. Please note: these illustrations are reproduced here for information purposes only, not for any commercial use; all copyright resides with the estate of Angus McBride, who died in 2007.

“Let’s go surfin’ now, everybody’s learnin’ how…” Those immortal words helped mainstream a sport once limited to a few select beaches around the Pacific. As the sport’s popularity grew, so too did the associated culture, which was about a fun, outdoor, bohemian lifestyle. And who wouldn’t want to spend their days riding waves and catching some sun with their compadres? And no matter the era, the surfboards are piled on and surfers packed in. It’s a scene, man. Longboard or short and no matter what your surf wagon of choice, be it the ever-popular VW Bus, Ford panel van, or just a small econobox, it doesn’t really matter what you’re driving as long as you’re headed to the beach for some “tasty waves,” right Spicoli? Just one question though, what’s up with the donkey in the VeeDub ad? Looks like he wants to drive.
