Animate Creation (1885)

My friend, George, loaned me his copy of Animate Creation, Volume 3, published in 1885. 

Here are some of the things I saw (and imagined) while scanning the pages of this book.

Dragoning

Drawing dragon patterns to wrap around a cookie jar. Seems like it would make a good future Kickstarter project.

Meanwhile, this Kickstarter project is still rolling
