      this forgotten 1895 piece is by Frederick Carles—a pioneer of the form who doesn't get the nearly the amount of credit afforded to Staceypic.twitter.com/rXQbyhCrFu

      it turns out that Stacey's 1897/1898 butterfly was actually first published in 1893, a few weeks after her "Santa Maria" first appearedpic.twitter.com/55kdeItWtV

      I thought these set a new record, but it turns out that @alexismadrigal already included them in this great article:https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/01/the-lost-ancestors-of-ascii-art/283445/ …

      this 1892 bicyclist by T. F. Adams probably doesn't count, & if it does, it's predated by e.g. H. C. Dodge's work of 1883 (h/t C. Philippo)pic.twitter.com/g9EeRPHAQk

      but Frank Baunelle's 1892 piece depicting a hunter and his dog certainly does count—apparently this lengthy verse (right) is embedded in it!pic.twitter.com/aSPk2VkhRm

      next, we go to August of 1891, for this extremely early example by "C. J. R."pic.twitter.com/LmYRMyfiT7

      which was barely preceded by another 1891 example—the earliest non-lettering example I could find—which seems to have appeared anonymouslypic.twitter.com/U8spStEwzo
