So I wanted to comment that this sort of thing might be the result of this sort of thing.
it took three tries to find the image, tho', which has strangely disappeared from other places.
Place #1: HuffPo. GONE! Replaces with "no camera"... POOF!
Place #2: The Guardian. GONE! Quietly replaced with something different. POOF!
Is this (very historical, quite culturally important) image being censored?
Oh, btw, Althouse... you are a total Anti-Semite for posting this here post. Don't you know how such images could be received by certain ethnic groups? TRIGGERS! Triggers galore!
Actually there are many "weird" or "freak" animal drawings from the 18th-19th century. Some people collect them but I don't think they were ever considered serious science in terms of evolution.

Apparently not:
The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals
By Charles Darwin
...there is a slight, if any, advance in the philosophy of the subject beyond that reached by the painter Le Brun, who, in 1667, in describing the expression of fright, says: "...[bunchs French]..." I have thought the foregoing sentences worth quoting, as specimens of the surprising nonsense which has been written on the subject.
The drawings are fabulous. They have some clever commenters also.

"Apparently not…"
Depends on the meaning of "inspiring."
