From the Zymoglyphic Museum‘s awesome Flickr stream. Their text accompaniing the set:
“Collages made for the second edition of the museum guide to show what the Zymoglyphic region might look like through the eyes of 19th century explorers. Based primarily on the works of Gustave Dore, Ernst Haeckel, Pieter Breugel the elder, and Hieronymous Bosch.”


And there’s more where that came from, including the outsides of the frogs, tadpoles and eggs, at this great BibliOdyssey post about Johann Rösel von Rosenhof’s “Historia Naturalis Ranarum Nostratium.”

A 1910 book about funny critters that may or may not have vexed lumberjacks of yesteryear, now abailable as an online hypertext edition.

“Even if a comic book artist spent his whole life drawing yogurt cups, you would still see his most secret and most deranging sensibilities emerge.” – Jean Giraud Moebius, in Moebius Redux (link to Google Video)
