My favorites of the illustrations. I've focused on the monsters, not so much the seascapes. Despite Flickr's rote application of my default license, the images are in the public domain. The scans are, of course, somewhat distorted by the binding and inconsistently edited. You get what you pay for. The good news is that I don't think the book is very hard to find. <a href="http://forbiddenmusic.wordpress.com/2007/06/29/sea-and-land-by-j-w-buel-1889/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Geblogt</a>.

If the weather drives you indoors, take advantage with a survey course on Connecticut’s murals. These large-size gems are well worth seeking out, and they represent a thrilling variety of styles and subject matter. Tackle them one at a time or make it a tour – but be assured there’s no such thing as cabin fever in these rooms.
