Manuel of devotion in the Beaver Indian language
A devotional manual printed in London in 1886 by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, compiled by Alfred Campbell Garrioch for readers of the Beaver Indian language. The pictures are small black-and-white wood engravings: a robed figure gesturing to men in a scene of calling, a plain white wooden church with a bell tower and a crowd outside, and an oval society seal with a standing figure holding a cross. A designer might take the spare engraved line work, the oval seal framing, and the restrained cream-paper palette as models for heritage mission-print typography.
