The days grow colder, the nights are closing in, and the staff at Sanders of Oxford have come over all peculiar. This Friday the 13th, in the lead up to Halloween, we are pleased to present a selection of weird and wonderful prints, a celebration of all things ghastly, ghoulish, grotesque, and gruesome.
The items in the following catalogue range from the hellish and horrific to the arcane and amusing. Highlights include a sixteenth century Lutheran world map of the Antichrist, a separately published memento mori optical illusion, a collection of freakish figures from the Monstrorum Historia, and an exquisite piece of baroque phantasmagoria depicting the Temptation of St Anthony.
