Faces Past









Somewhere in Italy there is a database with 666 pages of portrait engravings with about 20 images per page. I will have to add the link later...if I can find it. If it's where I think it is, the server is down at present.

I want to marry the young woman and grow a beard like the righteous dude below her.

UPDATE (January 2009!): The archive is located here.

The young woman is indeed attractive but don't you think that such mustachios would require considerable maintenance? (And what if the young woman objected to the facial hair? she looks as though she might prefer a mate with a less opulent facial coiffeur. I envision her going for something more like Shakespeare's, very neat and pared down.)

I know it's ages after the fact, but if you find that link, I'd love to see it.

Well, me too! I can only suggest that it's amongst this lot but that guess would only be about 85-95% for sure (meaning: I'm pretty sure but wouldn't stake a life on it). So anything in there before May '07.

Actually, that would be before August 2006.

I don't know if I can or will find it, but I just found enough other stuff to keep me busy for a month. Thank you so much! I am off to make art! With airships! And fantastic beards!

If you happen to still be watching Amanda, I just found the archive here ! I'll add it in the entry too.
