Christolution with its evolution illustrations
Christolution with its Evolution is an 1894 illustrated religious tract published in Buffalo, New York, by Charles Robinson Edwards, a mental-healing mission, aimed at a Christian readership. Its pictures are loose pen-and-ink wood engravings with hatched shading on cream paper, showing a man reaching into a tree, a crowd around a figure on a platform, a robed woman raising her arms beside a reclining body, and a farmer with a scythe; a designer could draw on their sparse line work and warm sepia tone for period scenes.
