Images from Ruth McEnery Stuart and Albert Bigelow Paine, Gobolinks, or Shadow Pictures for Young and Old (New York: The Century Co., 1896).
Ruth McEnery Stuart and Albert Bigelow Paine capture the youthful, imaginative quality of the inkblot and features characters such as “A Flit-Flit Flitter,” “The Kangar-Rooster-Roo,” and other “goblin[s] of the ink-bottle.” Commenting humorously on the tendency of their animal blots to feature a plethora of tails, the authors note that they “have added nothing to the price of the book on account of undue liberality in the matter of caudal appendages.” From Public Domain Review.
