I'm struggling again...
I get the ocular part. But have no idea what to do with it to decipher message - claw/ballroom etc.
I cannot find a similar theme in the curios for V1I4 but have spotted the "light house". Which is another issue altogether - do we use the travel articles or the locations in the socialite column (a sunny set of islands)

I'm stuck here too - I'm not seeing any clues in the ad beyond the horse names - but I'm about ready to claw my own eyes out. I think I've solved the location puzzle (though I'm not sure what would lead me there), but I didn't find any bridge letter references

Have you perused the curios that came with the issue for something that shares the same characteristic? Reproduce this at the same size as the horse ad then line 'em up and play the theme. Don't lose sight of that block of seemingly random letters near the ad. |

Hah. That's diabolical.

I'm still a bit confused about the curio. Are you referring to
Steede?

This puzzle seems like it will be a trip. I have that the shared theme of the horse names has something to do with "no eyes" or "eyes"
Following your second hint I found the Elder business card has an eye, but I'm unsure how to use it. Any assistance is appreciated |

Any assistance is appreciated For the step you're on, look specifically at the curios for the same issue that the ad appears in. Try to find something that has the same theme as what you've identified. If you'd like more direct help, feel free to PM me. This one is indeed quite involved. |

Be specific about what exactly the horse names have in common and find the curio that follows the same theme.
I kept in mind C&C's love of the literary greats and I soon saw right through this puzzle.

Making progress...I hope...  Am I correct in thinking I should apply
the second cipher
to the
small letters above the ad?
And if that's true, how can I figure out what
cipher two is?
Thanks! |

Thanks! Feel free to PM me with your progress. I think that you're sort of on the right track, but have you used a curio from the issue on the ad yet? |

ballroom.

You are correctly referring the "ballroom" message to the first Volume, but don't forget the rest of that message! |

Ok cool. Feel free to PM me if you need more direct help. I actually needed the Wiki for this one because I couldn't quite figure out how to make part of the message work right.

After reading all of this, I've looked at all the curios, advertisements, and associated materials, and I'm at a complete loss as to what the first step of the Horse advertisement should be. I'm horribly embarrassed. Here's what I've looked at so far: The curios: the Photo of a man named after the subject of the ad has no eyes in the sign. The man named in the title of the portraits ad also lost his eyes. The statue lost its head and also its eyes. A lady's calling card. The ads and images: Zanthor's eye, the Virgin Mary Iron Maiden is missing an eye, The Murine for eyes ad, and the eyesight wonder cure ads. I've resized all of the above and looked at them next to the Horse ad, and they haven't made any sense. I know about the apple, claw, and ballroom from the bridge letter , but it isn't clear how any of those are associated with this ad, or the order/application to the text above. I could use a bit of a nudge - I assume I'm missing something obvious. |
