A Bestiary of Folklore

What you see here is specific and strange before it is symbolic: the belt that turned a man into a wolf and the breaking wheel from the Cologne pamphlet of 1589, the bullet cast from a medal, the hooded procession with candles and cross of the Santa Compaña, the wicker basket, the birch rods and the cowbells of the Krampus, the three-legged planchette and the alphabet set in two arcs on the 1891 board. On the print side, the skeleton taking a man by the arm in Holbein's The Dance of Death (Lyon, 1538) and the winged monsters of Goya's Capricho 43. Not one generic skull: every object comes from a plate or from a dated court record.
