Strange survivals : some chapters in the history of man
Strange Survivals is an 1892 London book by the clergyman and folklorist S. Baring-Gould, published by Methuen, examining customs and superstitions that persisted from earlier periods of human life. The four pictures are small pen-and-ink drawings of primitive dwellings and structures, including a plank-sided shelter, a cliff-side stone building, a beehive-shaped stone oven and a dome-roofed hut with a low door. A designer could draw on their simple vernacular forms, hand-drawn hatching and rough stone textures for rustic or archaic graphics.
