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!

Photography as Illustration

Clarence H White (1871-1925)

I love these photos from the late 1890s, early 1900s. Follow the link above for more images by this artist. Also, there are even more images and info here in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
