The panorama of sleep, or, Soul and symbol
A 1903 New York book by Nina Picton, published by the Philosophic Company and held in the Harry Houdini Collection at the Library of Congress, on dreams and their symbolism for a general reading public. Its pictures are grey halftone plates of pale robed figures in dreamlike interiors, classical halls, temples and gardens, with soft shafts of light and misty clouds, useful to a designer seeking atmospheric, ethereal period imagery of sleep and visions.
