i’m going through the store’s enormous backlog of prints for ANOTHER project at work and in the middle of a bunch of really boring geological surveys i found a stack of engravings from the 1770s of some of the worst animals i have ever seen. i took photos. i will post them as soon as possible. definitely the most horrible thing about them is that i can recognize all of the animals, but there is something so awful in their comportment or expression it cannot be borne
#long post ahead sorry
okay
most of these just have inscrutable expressions
some have really detailed anatomy
others are in a state of despair. mole that gave up #1
