Artists of these works

[HellAngel_666]

Hey, long time no see, haven't been on in a LONG time. Anyways writing a paper for one of my college classes but for my info I need the artists names. Tried my best to look it up but can't find sh*t.

This is where L'Ollonais takes some guys heart out of their chest and eats some of it, and forces it in another mans face.

This is really killing me. I can't believe I don't know these peoples names. Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated!

No idea about the first one, but the second one I knew I had seen before, according to Wikipedia :

The pirate Blackbeard's head hanging from the bowsprit: this was published in Ellms, Charles [1837] (1842). “The Life, Atrocities, and Bloody Death of Black Beard”, The Pirates Own Book, p. 319, New York, United States: A. & C.B. Edwards.

Dunno if Charles Ellms actually illustrated it, but if you can find the book on both Project Gutenberg and Google Books.

Hope that helps some mate!

Thanks. Saw the Wiki article but didn't know if he made it himself. (like you) Will try getting the book.

Good luck with your search. Tracking down the names of people who made illustrations, especially if they are period or very old will be difficult.
