I really like these macabre and unusual line drawings of Kley's from near the turn of the century (1900's, not 2000). Some are humorous, some satirical, some just are. His best-known drawings are of fantastic animals with humans, such as tiny dancing elephants. I used some of his drawings to decorate my zine, "Fairy Sighs"; they seemed to fit.
