Victorian Grotesque : Vintage Sideshow Posters ~ Various Artists

46ba983cb3c6b_27785b

The title of this post is borrowed from the book 'Victorian Grotesque: An Illustrated Excursion into Medical Curiosities, Freaks and Abnormalities, Principally of the Victorian Age' by Michael Howard. A book I first read at about the age of ten or less, but that never wandered from my mind. It fascinated and literally freaked me out, and is in reflection possibly one of the early sources of inspiration for my art in later life.
