But yesterday I heard from Andrew May who wrote: "Sorry,
I was being nosy and had a peek at a blog post you have in draft called "Can
anyone provenance this for me?" (I can look at previews of your stuff on Blogger
because I'm a contributor to the blog). It's fairly easy these days to find the
source of an image. If you go to Google Image search, the search box has a
little camera icon. If you click on this, you can paste in an image URL (in this
case, https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCkld8aU8_PqKF4oNbIvBjqNpAY-x4iQcX2pAkEiyu8TSNckVEyJcArD_7pgNCqDr5fKrsG1SVmkODu0cE1wJR8YxvO6rV1-7tZyFZyKo2C7wv5vh68SVEE7eFNCZhyphenhyphen5qDAWEyvw/s1600/odd+creature.jpg
). It immediately comes up saying "Best guess for this image: compendium
rarissimum totius artis magicae sistematisatae per celeberrimos artis hujus
magistros". Isn't technology wonderful?
It certainly is. This is an image of Beelzebub from Compendium rarissimum totius Artis Magicae sistematisatae per celeberrimos Artis hujus Magistros published in 1775. Thank you Andrew
