The secret societies of all ages and countris
A nineteenth-century history of secret societies by Charles William Heckethorn, published in London by R. Bentley and Son in 1875, aimed at general readers of history and occult topics. Its pictures are decorative engraved border strips in a Renaissance ornament style, with scrolling foliage, grotesque masks, and symmetrical arabesques that a designer could adapt for frames, headers, or period-styled panels.
