Wilhelm Lehmbruck, "Macbeth III", 1918, drypoint. From the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

"Known best as a sculptor, Lehmbruck also made etchings and drypoints in his last decade. This example belongs to a series he devoted to Lady Macbeth [...] Here, she wears a crown, clutches a dagger and is surrounded by corpses and wraiths, including a young mother who holds a child up like a totem. Lembruck was traumatized by his service in an army hospital during the First World War and created this print a year before committing suicide."

"The Wonders of a London Water Drop," May 11 1850. Punch, or the London Charivari

"And wondrous indeed is the scene disclosed within the sphere of a little drop of water—of that water which Londoners drink, swallowing daily, myriads and myriads of worlds, whole universes instinct with life, or life in death! [...] Creatures—who shall name them? things in human shape—in all appearance London citizens [...] are seen disporting in the liquid dirt as in their native element. Behold them, fiercely hustling each other in competition for atomic garbage."
