A Visual Dictionary of Curiosities

Meticulously cleaned and restored by fine-press bookmaker Johnny Carrera, the engravings in Pictorial Webster's have been compiled into an alluring and unusual visual reference guide for the modern day.

Images range from the entirely mysterious to the classically iconic.

From Acorns to Zebras, Bell Jars to Velocipedes, these alphabetically arranged archetypes and curiosities create enigmatic juxtapositions and illustrate the items deemed important to the Victorian mind.

Sure to inspire and delight, Pictorial Webster's is at once a fascinating historical record and a stunning jewel of a book.
