Given late 18th-19thC 'scientific' discourses around skin color, it's always interesting to see when chromos and hand-painted lithos are and are *not* faithful to the subject's skin color.

We try not to participate in “you won’t believe which dogshit book is super popular right now” discourse after realizing it’s perhaps one of the oldest discourses of all time. Like people have been doing it for over a century. But anytime someone shares a passage from a LitRPG it’s hard to hold back

So I just feel reticent to adequately self-promote.
