L'Enchanteur et la Muse
The Grotto della Sibilla in the Umbrian Mountains which was first mentioned in classical legend. Guerino the Wretch reaches a mountain pass near Norcia in Umbria where he meets with the Devil. The Devil, of course, wants Guerino's soul and tempts him by describing a subterranean kingdom where every delight will be his. Seemingly, in this kingdom, trees flower and fruit at the same time and there is no pain or age or sorrow.

This is very Baba Yagaish Sylvie. I love it. Really love it. This will inspire me to have a look at more Tarot card illustrations. Currently I am on the search for old fairy story illustrations to fuel my imagination as I sketch and create the realm of the Silk Road.
Hi Heather,
There is a terrific web site for children's books with many old ones that were scanned completely, so you can see all the illustrations.
I will find the URL for you.

That would be wonderful Sylvia. Thanks!
