Remember when historian Diane Purkiss chose violence? 🤣

“In this essay, I will show that medieval and early modern witchcraft was for the most part not a pagan practice, but a dissident form of Christianity. I will also argue that modern pagans and modern witches are themselves products of the very globalized, commercial, urban and anywhere culture which they set out to resist.”

Wood Engraving Wednesday

JOHN AUSTEN

In the 1930s, the Limited Editions Club sent out a list of titles to selected artists and asked them to choose a book to illustrate and present their ideas for illustrations. The well-established English book illustrator and wood engraver John Austen replied that he wished to illustrate The Frogs by Aristophanes even though it did not appear on the list. His proposal and preliminary designs were so strong that the Club agreed. Austin provided 28 wood engravings and an edition of 1500 copies were printed at the venerable Haarlem, Netherlands, printing house of Joh. Enschedé en Zonen and signed by the artist.

View all 28 engravings at the Book Graphics blogspot.
