K so not to be dramatic or anything, but there's a free vintage French pattern book available on antiquepatternlibrary so if you like to crochet/weave/make pixel art/tie epic friendship bracelets don't walk- RUN.
It has scenes from aesop's fables! Cherubs doing things! Beheadings! Greek muses! Little farm people! Intricate floral pattern! Goth stained-glass window like patterns! Fun little corner pieces! Eeeeeeeeeeeeee

my fav thing is scrolling along and seeing a character I've done in a commission for someone drawn by another artist. It's an instant feeling of pointing "hey I know that guy!"

Moon rising as the Sun sets below the horizon, tapestry by Michael Crompton
[ID: Woven tapestry depicting a white river through a landscape of green hills. A small pink moon is visible in the dark sky. The sun is also present, depicted as a large circle of bright daytime colors below the landscape with tendrils of yellow, orange, and red on the outer edges of the circle blending in with the smooth curves of the hills. The texture of the entire piece is scored with even rows of waves spaced to create small oval bumps. End ID]
