Demonology and devil-lore / by Moncure Daniel Conway.

Moncure Daniel Conway, Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine · 1879 · 1879 · 32 pictures

Demonology and Devil-Lore is a 1879 scholarly study by Moncure Daniel Conway, a historian of demonology, illustrated with woodcut reproductions of older devil imagery for a general reading public. The four pictures show devils, demons and tormented souls drawn in a stiff, medieval-style line, with a crowded composition and dense hatching that a designer could borrow for gothic or folkloric motifs.
