Well, it's taken a year of arguing, praying, begging, persuading, shouting, hundreds of emails and a ton of research, but the BibliOdyssey book is finally in release!
Yay.

Site announcement.

Brainstormixing is a site with a large cache of science magazine illustrations by the mysterious 'Poyet'. The engravings were done between 1870 and 1906. I knew of Poyet's work through the Tom Tit series, 'La Science Amusante' which is online at the Culture Archive. I haven't tried it but this Poyet site has plugins of some sort for cycling through the images on your desktop. I think they are intended to help inspire...something. Out of the 200+ illustrations I probably know what 2/3 or less of them actually depict.
