Karl Heffner (1849 – 1925) was a Bavarian musician who became interested in art after working for an English art dealer, Tom Wallis, and ended up exhibiting and even being commissioned by Edward Prince Regent (the future king Edward VII).
This picture may have been painted on a wooden frame in this shape, i’m not sure; the reproduction i scanned was an engraving.

Some magic circles taken from a 1656 English translation of a manuscript of “Celestial Medicine” said to be by Paracelsus (1493–1541). These circles, when engraved onto coins made in a particular way at the right time, are said to invoke the mysterious power of the Zodiac. Wow.
I won’t toot here for each image :)

A fanciful reconstruction of Druidic worship at Stonehenge (1884)

There's no actual evidence of human sacrifice being used - the Roman accounts of “druids” are as accurate as Putin's accounts of Ukraine - and it was built before the pyramids, long pre-Roman :)

Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, UK
Known today especially for its gardens, Alnwick Castle was first buyilt in 1096, possibly on the site of an earlier Roman fort. It was rebuilt in the 1300s and again in the 1700s. The same family has lived there, Percy, since around 1300.

Cholmondeley Castle.
It’s pronounced “Chumley” and the same family has been living there since 1066 or so (they must be getting old by now).
The castle was built in the early 19th century, replacing an older wooden hall. Sorry, i don’t know if it has a dungeon :) The chapel (i think on the right) is much older.
