Devils
Something wicked this way comes
Ever since he disguised himself as a snake and tempted Eve with an apple, the devil has been everyone`s favorite villain. Lucifer himself is the star of this book, which contains images of him throughout the history of art. Etchings, woodcuts, paintings, illustrations, drawings, photographs, and advertisements featuring the devil, by the likes of Da Vinci, Bosch, Pierre et Gilles, Giger, and many more, populate the pages of this supremely "evil" book.
