Outside our small safe place flies Mystery... A snake beneath the forest floor, a whisper: Melusine

I told environgirl that I had some rare 19th century mutli-cultural clip art, so I had to post these.  Along with these lovely Victorian African divas, I took the opportunity to scan and post some weird and morbid clip art as well.  Want more? Check out Vintage Images: this evening's obsession for antique photographs! Sorry if it takes a long time for these to download.  All the images here are copy-right free and over 125 years old.  Feel free to download them and use them for your own art and design projects or... write a short story, essay, or create a character sketch based on one of the images above and send them in a reply or post them on your blog.  Have fun!  Please share your creations with me!
