Will-power, personal magnetism, memory-training, and success
A 1921 Chicago New Thought self-help book on willpower, personal magnetism and memory training, written by Sydney Blanshard Flower for general readers seeking success. Its pictures are black-and-white line illustrations with heavy hatching and framed panels, with a seated young man, an allegorical angel and devil, and a street scene with the word HOPE; a designer might take their dense crosshatched contrast and moralizing vignette layouts as a model for bold monochrome panels.
