Britten, William, fl. 1876, Britten, Emma Hardinge, d. 1899 · 1898 · Chicago, Ill. : Progressive Thinker Pub. House · 24 pictures

A late nineteenth-century Chicago treatise on spiritualism and ceremonial magic, written by William Britten and Emma Hardinge Britten and published in 1898 by the Progressive Thinker Publishing House for a readership interested in spirits and occult practice. Its pictures are small woodcut-style diagrams and portraits: a six-pointed star with Greek and Latin letters, a circular seal ringed with inscribed names, and a bearded man in a cap, with a grid of ruled panels above. A designer could draw on the star and seal geometry for occult or esoteric graphics, and on the engraved line texture for period ornament.
