Some Hieronymus Bosch Allen & Ginter tobacco albums, naturally









(For those unfamiliar, Hieronymus Bosch was a 15th century Dutch painter who made highly original, painstakingly detailed and often extremely disturbing religious paintings. Even today, his paintings remain original and unique in the art world. Due to his nightmarish images, for a long time people were unsure if he was Christian or a devil-worshiper, though it's more than probable that he was devoutly Christian with a eccentric personal vision.

His paintings were filled with often and obscure and personal symbols. The red clothed fish, the flying goose, the tree limb arms, the bird all mean symbolize things.)
