Greetings David, I’ve been following your work for a little while, and I really appreciate the depth you bring to these topics.
I explore something similar, but from a slightly stranger angle: forgotten travel narratives, old geographies, and the ideas they obscured from modern history.
My latest piece dives into an obscure book that records giant beings with a clarity that raises more questions than it answers.
If that kind of thing interests you, here’s the link:

Another of those meetings! Been to a few…what’s the book.
The graphic depicts a phantasmagoria, which was a kind of early cheap thrills picture house per the book The Phantasmagoria of Capital
I see - I just posted a Dore etching on PD page - similar dark image. Not read it but it’s very interesting. Now I know what it means!
