Museum of the Weird Book by Grillot de Givry

.
In the previous post I showed how Marc Davis made good use of Émile Grillot de Givry's Illustrated Anthology of Sorcery, Magic, and Alchemy.  He wasn't the only one.  I also mentioned Rolly Crump, who evidently rifled through de Givry for images to use in his "Museum of the Weird."  Here are a couple of examples from one of Rolly's well-known "Museum of the Weird" concept sketches:


And here y'go, darlin', or as Émile would put it, Voilà.





Here's another example, taken from a different sketch of the Museum.  Rolly borrowed an old palmistry chart in de Givry.
