The Public Domain Review is an excellent source of obscure illustrations and related esoteric essays. Where else can you learn about Pre-Raphaelite wombat obsessions? Wombats aside, collections and essays include much for aficionados of horror and fantasy. The "Ghosts and Occult" collection ranges from this 17th century engraving to 19th century magician's manuals to some very strange Persian demons from the 1920s.
