From fishy unicorns and pre-Raphaelite wombats to Japanese folktales and Russian Walt Whitmans; from imperialist board games and Georgian toilet Twitter, to serpentine dances and Nadar’s catacombs; from socialist utopias and Victorian tripping to Pullman on Milton and pictures made by the vibrations of voice.

Full colour with more than 100 illustrations, all printed on sumptuous 80lb paper.
