So I was trying to source that gorgeous poison book that’s making the rounds (it’s tragically not period—it’s a “historism” in the style of the 17th century) and I found the auction site it came from, Hermann Historica, and I’m never leaving.
The magic square on the skull is SATOR AREPA TENET OPERA ROTAS.
e: oh right! click on images for provenance.

A) I have drawn that square over the door of every place I’ve ever lived! I think because I was like eight and found it in a book about Pompeii. Majjyk! B) THAT SITE. I am going to hurriedly bookmark it and close the tab before it swallows me.
