From LinkedCulture
A winged demon carries two limp human figures upward into a near-black sky while a third figure clings to the mass of bodies, the creature's grotesque face turned directly toward you. This is Bon Voyage, plate 64 from Goya's Los Caprichos, an etching and aquatint made in Spain in 1799 and printed in this edition around 1855. Goya's ironic title offers a send-off not to a traveller but to superstition itself, making Los Caprichos one of the first print series to turn biting satire on an entire society.
