Fallacy of ghosts, dreams, and omens; with stories of witchcraft, life-in-death, and monomania / [Charles Ollier].
A London supernatural anthology published by C. Ollier in 1848, aimed at general readers curious about ghosts, dreams, omens and witchcraft. Its three pictures are rough-edged wood-engraved scenes, several printed sideways, with cramped interiors, a figure in pale robes, and hooded or startled characters. A designer could take their dim, hatched shadows and theatrical gestures as a model for eerie, Victorian-style graphic work.
