Equus Asinus - 1906
Equus Asinus - 1906 - for Bogey Magazine - by Ivan Bilibin - Etching - The context of this image is not clear, although judging by the style of the illustration and the background, it may be a reference to the philosopher, Jesus Christ, and the donkey that he rode on in the New Testament. There are still others that believe that the donkey itself was a manifestation of Jesus Christ, and the rider was a doppelganger of Christ.

Moloch, the Pagan God-king, pictured in The Union Bible Dictionary, Philadelphia-New York 1837, via the Internet Archive
Moloch, was a Levantine idol, god, and deity, the pagan lord of material things, and the master of fire. He was worshipped by Levatine people 3500 years ago. The Semitic tribes that worshiped Moloch, would offer their newborn and young children to him in what are well known examples of early human sacrifices. The children were burned alive at the altar of Molech by the priests of Moloch.

As a Tennessean, this Nov. 2018 Daily Mail UK article fascinates me.
Image and description are from the Daily Mail website and the image is copyrighted by the Associated Press. For nearly three decades, Fred Leuchter, a self-taught electrocution, had a successful career in the business where he had a specialty of devising, selling and installing equipment for carrying out executions. He provided his services in at least 27 states and was the leading go-to expert in the area. He is pictured above center in an undated photo standing near the control panel for the electric chair he built. In 1988, he, (Fred Leuchter) was commissioned by the State of Tennessee to build an electric chair, the one that just recently killed Edmund Zagorski, a convicted murderer.
