An advertisement catering to the Female Gaze

targeting female scientists, no less--

(via Feminist SF)

Oh, and fans of historic children's book illustration, here's a newly-discovered site with some two dozen large scans of Ivan Bilibin's turn of the century graphics. It's Czech (I think) but that shouldn't be a problem.

I think I have a couple of translated books by that artist. (Firebird? Something to do with Baba Yaga?) If not him exactly, then someone else with exactly the same style. Beautiful stuff.

Thanks for the art!

Ditto.

Shape changing? I thought it was five different men.

I think I might have a book with some illustrations of Ivan Bilibin's in it as well. The Baba Yaga pictures ring a memory bell somewhere, particularly the one with the heroine carrying the skull with the fiery light coming out of the eyes. Won't her sisters be surprised!

Magnificent artwork, I had no idea there was more. Good find, Bellatrys.
