Satan’s transformation and his speech are so flawless that even Uriel cannot see through the subterfuge.

A medical scene from the French Piedmont campaign (1537-8), in which the barber surgeon Ambroise Paré tends to the wounds of a 'Captain Rat'.

Paré was a pioneer of battlefield surgery, reintroducing Roman techniques including using poultices instead of cauterising wounds with boiling oil and reintroduced the ligature of arteries instead of cauterization during amputations. In 1567, by experimenting on a condemned man, he proved that bezoar stones (the poisoning cure-all of the Harry Potter series) did not work.

Head and shoulders portrait of a young man as Paris, a sheepskin over his shoulder, holding up an apple.

A dramatic depiction of the fire during the annual Foire Saint-Germain fair in Paris, 16 - 17 March 1762; townsfolk using buckets of water and pumps in an effort to douse the raging flames, and a monk praying lower left. Key below title. For a series of vues d’optiques, intended originally to be viewed through a convex lens. The devices, known variously as zograscopes, optical machines and peepshows, were a popular optical entertainment of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Vues d’optiques were rendered in high-key colour and dramatic linear perspective, which enhanced the illusion of three-dimensionality when viewed through the lens.
