  4. This could just be a me thing, but I find these images to be provocative. In a good way, of course. The illustrations are amazing, how did you manage to come across these?

  6. Thanks all.

    Miss Danger, you have Richard Sica and his amazing book collection to thank for these scans. He's been contributing material for a few months -- search my archives for "Sica" to see all the goodies.

    @ndy -- I just remembered your Baudelaire illustrations!

    Will

  7. I plan to visit you often! These are amazing. If you do not mind I would like to add this link to my political blog, Snippits & Snappits, and also the one I am putting together devoted primarily to political cartooning and a smattering of art.

    These are positively awesome. Thank you for finding this Sica and posting them.

    If you have any objection, please let me know and I will remove you from the blog rolls.
