Visions of Vultures and Villains

Here's a most interesting oddity that I came across while doing research for a design project this week. I found this in an old book about the printing and book binding process. The caption reads, What a fine printer is apt to see when he lies awake at night. Who knew printers led such tormented lives? There's truly nothing scarier than villians, vultures, and graveyard bunnies.
