[Inexplicable images from generations ago invite us to restore the lost
sense of immediacy. We follow the founder of the Theater of
Spontaneity, Jacob Moreno, who proposed stringing together "now and then
flashes" to unfetter illusion and let imagination run free. The images
we have collected for this series came at a tremendous price, which we explained previously.] |

Here's George du Maurier's illustration of Darwinism from Punch, 1878. "Without use, an organ dwindles; with use it increases. For instance, the organ of a grinder who, in the struggle for existence, relies entirely on his instrument, is invariably larger than that of the grinder who, in addition uses a monkey. Most of our readers must have noticed this."

There aren't very many imaginary organ-griders in the literature. The caption here reads, "Do you not perceive an Italian organ-grinder over there?" ( English Illustrated, 1900). In 1886, "Tom went to the window, called out to an imaginary organ grinder, pitched a copper, and ordered him to be off with his hideous music" ( John Robertson, One of the People). In 2007, one Harrison Forbes blogged about traveling with an imaginary organ grinder's monkey named Ivan.
