Gorgeous Antique Religious Illustrations

So in my wanderings today, I came across this old book with the cover ripped to shreds and the binding falling apart.  To my suprise, when I looked inside, chalk full of visual goodness!  It seems this book was published in 1903 and was called "Bible Heroes for Boys and Girls".  It was full of stunning illustrations from popular bible stories.  Some of them seem a bit disturbing and intense to be in a children's book, but to each their own.  My thought was, "wouldn't these be great pieces to add to a collage project'", so I snatched the mangled book up and dissected it at home.  I listed a bunch of the images for sale on my store https://www.scrapitsideways.etsy.com/ if anyone can use these beauties in their projects.  More pics from this gorgeous book to come!
