Ancient pagan and modern Christian symbolism

Inman, Thomas, 1820-1876, Newton, John, M.R.C.S.E · 1874 · New York : P. Eckler · 127 pictures

Thomas Inman's comparative study of religious symbols, expanded by John Newton and issued in New York by Peter Eckler in 1874 for freethinkers and students of comparative religion. Line drawings copy seals, amulets, coins and cult objects from Assyria, Egypt and Greece: crosses, crescents, serpents, star-topped pillars, horned headdresses and worshipping figures, drawn plainly for reuse as emblems or plate-style groupings.
