This richly illustrated collection revives forgotten artistic oddities from libraries, museums, and galleries worldwide. It showcases eccentric figures—like a crocodile-riding explorer and a levitating monk—alongside fantastical creations such as medieval land yachts, floating churches, and eagle-powered airships. Filled with bizarre characters, strange inventions, and imaginative scenes, the book offers an entertaining “odditorium” curated by historian Edward Brooke-Hitching for lovers of unusual art and history.
