Born in 1891,
Max Ernst was a child of this revolution. After 1850, sensational images were to be found everywhere: in books and magazines, and newspapers and advertisements of every sort. Ernst would take advantage of his culture and visual memories in 1933 deciding, when the Surrealist movement was at its height, to use a number of old illustrations for his own purposes. Ernst used
Sade and Fantômas,
Doré and
Grandville as sources as well as the covers of detective stories. The book that came out of this brilliant plundering in 1936 clearly shows how the 20th century took inspiration from its predecessor.
