Pythian knighthood, it history and literature;
A history of the Knights of Pythias, a fraternal order, written by James R. Carnahan and published in Cincinnati in 1888 by the Pettibone Manufacturing Company for members of the society. The pictures are black-and-white wood-engraved headpieces and initials showing knights in armour on horseback, heraldic shields, crossed swords and spears, and a decorative drop-cap letter, offering designers a lively medieval vocabulary of heraldry and chivalric ornament for borders and lettering.
