BibliOdyssey

BibliOdyssey is one of my favorite blogs – a collection of arcane, interesting, and usually quite beautiful snippets from antique books. Although they aren’t always morbid, there are frequently items on there that make me smile in grim delight. While perusing the latest entries today, I was most pleased to discover an illustration that I think might quite possibly have to become a tattoo on The Comtesse’s withered frame. What do you think?

Final page in 'The Cornellian' (magazine) of 1896: the Raven & Skulls illustration is by Louis Agassiz Fuertes.

  1. That’s absolutely beautiful! Would you keep the text as well? I really like the way it adds to the piece as a whole. . .though I suppose that might also depend on where you want to place it.

  2. I love it Despair. As a lover of tattoo art and I have 16 or 17 myself…

    It would make a lovely piece in blackwork. I love large black birds.
