Eliphas Levi, A. E. Waite · 1896 · London : G. Redway, 1896. · 25 pictures

Transcendental Magic, a 1896 London translation by A. E. Waite of Eliphas Levi's occult treatise on magic doctrine and ritual, aimed at students of the esoteric. The pictures are woodcut-style diagrams: a pentagram with Hebrew letters and an eye, ritual tools such as a sword, wand and cup set in a circle, and triangular and cross symbols with lettering. A designer could draw on their dense geometric layouts, radiating symbol arrangements and sharp black-line contrast on a tan ground.
