More visual inspiration.
Most or all photos are taken from my tumblr account.
An old antique carousel. I love the look of this. I found out awhile ago that carousels were actually used for battle practicing at first.
Always a fan of almost any type of old medical/anatomy drawings, this one above is especially beautiful. It sure would be quite scary living in a time period where there was limited knowledge about medicine and health. Bleeding was commonly practiced to cure illnesses. Also doctors didn't sterilize their hands or any instruments.
Most times the medicines that were prescribed to you were more harmful than what you were being treated for, Mercury was a common ingredient for example. Especially in Europe, anything and everything was used in the mixing/making of drugs.This picture above is one of my favourites.
