The occult sciences: the philosophy of magic, prodigies, and apparent miracles (Volume 2).
This 1847 Harper & Bros. edition of Eusèbe Salverte's occult sciences, translated into English by Anthony Todd Thomson, is a New York printed volume on magic and apparent miracles, its single picture an oval-framed engraving of a large symmetrical brick institutional building with a central pediment, flagpole and tall arched windows set behind bare trees. The picture offers a designer a tidy, period-appropriate architectural vignette: an oval vignette frame, fine hatched line shading for masonry and sky, and a sober Victorian civic look.
