Book 5: The Effects of the Elixir, by Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Frommt's, den Schleier aufzuheben,
Wo das nahe Schreckniss droht?
Nur das Irrthum ist das Leben,
Und das Wissen ist der Tod.

The picture used are:
Chapter 1: the judgment of the dead from the Papyrus of Hunefer. It is, unfortunately, the judgment by Osiris, not by the living, but it's what I could find.
Chapter 2: a Drawing Room of Hampton & Sons. Probably more Victorian Era, so a few decades too late for our setting here, but still probably not too far off from what it could have looked like for someone of modest success and a rich wife like Mervale.
Chapter 3: "New Stock Exchange", i.e. the London Stock Exchange in 1810
Chapter 4: "Carnival Scene (The Minuet)" by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, pained in the 1750s. A few decades too early, but at least generally in the ballpark.
Chapter 5: "Baba Yaga - Russia" by Pabbit-da-rabbit, used here under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/). An evil, old hag, eh? There you go.
Chapter 6: "The Entrance to the Harbor of Marseilles" by William Callow, circa 1838. Sure, that's post-Revolution, but it's probably close enough for our purposes. I suspect given the look it has here that it didn't change overly much, at least here at the harbor entrance, since the Revolution. In another 50 years it would probably have changed a lot, but probably not much difference between 1838 and 1788. I could be wrong, but just my ignorant guess.
