You might do well turning them into posters or postcards or prints!

Though they seem simple they do have a quality that one can view time after time

The pictures have been owned by the Library since 1929 and only displayed in local exhibitions. To the best of my knowledge this is the first time they’ve been reproduced in colour.

Have you played some of the old adventure computer games? This is very Myst-like.

Is that the artist’s real name? Where are these displayed? I just accidentally landed here from another link and am intrigued.

I could imagine a computer game with those scenes with ghosts, dandies, and Mrs. Grundy as participants.
