Great Discoveries


I don't know how I found these illustrations (probably tumblr let's be serious), but I love them so much. They're by a German illustrator named Baron Hans Henning Voigt for a the German version of the book named "Carmen" by a French author called Prosper Mérimée during the 1920s. Apparently he was married to the awesome writer and early feminist George Sand. I love how he creates a variety of textures with just black and red lines within simple, yet strange silhouettes... the images just make me smile.
thx, internet !!!
