Here are two more images related to The Muddlers’ Club (see previously God Approves Our Undertakings), featuring an ouroboros (snake eating its own tail) in the shape of the symbol for infinity, on an eight-pointed star/compass, by VisualWaste.
“Members of the Muddler’s Club included leading United Irishmen such as Thomas Russell, Thomas Neilson & Henry Joy McCracken. Secret meetings held at Peggy Barclay’s inn would allow the Belfast United Irishmen to welcome messengers & visitors to coordinate the wider conspiracy.” For more information on the history of the location, see this BBC-NI article on the (canvas) paintings in Warehouse Lane.
In the second image: an unknown (FGB?) piece of tangled arms and legs, and, Lost Duppy by TLO.

At the turn of the century, almost 100,000 people worked in Belfast mills; the smokestack from a mill appears alongside a H&W crane and the Titanic centre in the skyline of Faigy’s (Fb) piece for CNB/HTN. One site about linen production in and around Belfast notes that “machines were not properly guarded. Facial and hand injuries, ranging from lacerations to mutilations, were the most common”.
