Demonology and devil-lore
Moncure Daniel Conway's two-volume comparative study of demons, published by Henry Holt in New York in 1879 for general readers interested in mythology and folklore. Line drawings copy medieval carvings, manuscript marginalia and Asian prints: winged imps, horned devils, dragons, grotesque hybrids and torment scenes, drawn in flat outline or dense crosshatching, ready for use as spot motifs or silhouettes.
