The angel of thought, and other poems; impressions from old masters
A 1909 Boston poetry collection by Ethel Allen Murphy, published by R. G. Badger, with reproductions of Italian Renaissance paintings of the Virgin Mary and angels meant to accompany verses inspired by old masters. The four pictures show halftone reproductions of Madonna and child scenes, a round tondo of the Virgin with musician angels, an Annunciation with a kneeling angel in a loggia, and a standing angel playing a trumpet. A designer could draw on the soft grey tonal rendering, the halo and drapery patterns, and the angels' ornamented robes.
