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

two girls, only about 12 or 13

the first, reading a summary: — through woods more treacherous than you can imagine–
the second: i don’t know. i can imagine very treacherous woods.
the first, verbatim: blah blah, peril, blah blah… will they survive?
the second: you know, i bet they DO.
