This is so cool. Watch a slideshow of picture book history starting with the year 1658! LINK (Picturing Books Website). Some of my favs!

A Puppet Man's Prints 1914-1916
Richard Teschner 1914-1916
A Journey Round My Skull Blog has now become 50 Watts Blog and that's where I found these incredible "Etchings of a Puppeteer". The top one looks like something I painted 6-7 years ago. The bottom one looks like the big-eyed characters being painted today, although these were created about 100 years ago. Richard Teschner made prints, illustrated books and worked in the puppet theater. Follow the LINK to see 6 more images.
Thanks, Internet Weekly!
