I stumbled across these paintings my freshman year of college and for some reason they've stuck with me. The inkwash and bright colors and the details have always kind of stuck with me despite my art history major classmate's scoffing about scrawly paintings of Suicide Girls (watch that hit count jump now!). She's got a point, and being mildly prudish I'm not as big of a fan of the paintings of girls entangled with octopi, but these pieces below are swanky nonetheless.
Prunella Vulgaris's compendium, or: A companion for the ingenious of either sex. The newest experiments in japanning, to imitate the Indian way, plain and in speckles, rockwork, figures, &c. The art of persuming and beautifying. Divers receipts in physick and surgery, with many other useful things. To make enamel of divers colours for gold, silver, or other metals. To which are added, many curiosities, and rare secrets, known to few, but very profitable and pleasant.
