This 1660 depiction of the Tatzelwurm is more of a cat-dragon than the typical cat-snake. The dragon-like version of the Tatzelwurm was told about in Swiss legend dating back to the early 17th century. In later years, Swiss scholar Johann Jakob Scheuchzer illustrated the creature in the 1720s; and because of this, this version of the Tatzelwurm also became known as Scheuchzer’s Dragon. 

“Love has always been the chief business of my life, the only thing I have thought—no, felt—supremely worth while, and I don’t pretend that this experience was not succeeded by others. But at that time, I was innocent, with the innocence of ignorance, I didn’t know what was happening to me. I was without consciousness, that is to say, more utterly absorbed than was ever possible again.”

Dorothy Bussy, Olivia (1949)
