A painting by Bob Eggleton illustrating a scene from St. Adomnán’s seventh century account of St. Columba’s sixth century evangelism in Scotland. Scanned from The Book of Sea Monsters.

Illustration by Reid Psaltis of a jackalope, a jackrabbit with the antlers of a pronghorn. The jackalope was a popular taxidermic hoax in the 18th and 19th centuries, and its absurdity has allowed it to live on as an object of humor.
