A new system, or, An analysis of ancient mythology : wherein an attempt is made to divest tradition of fable, and to reduce the truth to its original purity ...
A 1774 London mythology treatise by Jacob Bryant, with plates engraved by James Basire and William Blake, aimed at scholars of ancient religion. Its pictures are copperplate engravings of coins, classical figures and emblematic motifs, showing crisp linework, fine hatching and stippled shading that a designer could draw on for antique emblem or medallion styling.
