Histoire littéraire du sentiment religieux en France depuis la fin des querres de religion jusqu'à nos jours
A 1916 Paris scholarly history of French religious feeling by Henri Bremond, drawn from University of Toronto Libraries holdings and concerned with Catholic church culture and mysticism. The four plates are seventeenth- and eighteenth-century devotional engravings: a bedchamber scene with a crowned figure and a luminous cloud, a dramatic allegorical composition with a winged figure and a draped canopy, a rotated print of a radiant sun-disc held aloft, and a rotated plate with a chalice-like vessel, angels and a Latin inscription. A designer could take the dense hatched engraving, the radiant light bursts and the swirling cloud forms as models for sacred or dramatic illustration.
