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.”

I’ve been trying to figure out whose exhibit it was that I saw at the de Young Museum when I was eight (’75), turns out to be this guy. He had an alter-ego, Dr. Gladstone, who discovered a process by which bone turned to ceramic, and “unearthed or created” ceramic fossils from the pre-credulus era of the Bone Age that were on display. He also lectured on the process.
