The book of talismans, amulets and zodiacal gems : with coloured frontispiece and ten plates
A 1914 Philadelphia reprint of William Thomas and Kate Pavitt's survey of talismans, amulets and zodiacal gems, aimed at general readers interested in folklore and occult lore. The numbered plates group small objects against blank grounds in wash and line: scarabs, seals, swastikas, ankhs, rings, phallic and animal charms, cornucopiae and rosettes, ready for cutting out as isolated ornaments or symbol sets.
