A Book of angels
A Book of Angels, written and illustrated by L. P. and published in London by Longmans, Green in 1906, is a general treatment of angels for a popular readership. The four pictures are reproductions of angel images: a haloed head with wings, a robed angel standing in a vaulted corner, a pair of tall angels with trumpets in narrow panels, and a row of angels with scrolled inscriptions. A designer could draw on their rounded halos, flowing drapery and pale, engraved-looking tonal modelling for devotional or heraldic motifs.
