A short history of monks and monasteries
Alfred Wesley Wishart's survey of monasticism and religious orders, published by A. Brandt in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1900 for general American readers. Halftone and engraved plates give bust portraits of founders in biretta, tonsure and cowl, plus shadowed scenes of monks at a deathbed or before a crucifix, useful for hooded silhouettes and heavy drapery folds.
