Astrea : or, Goddess of justice
A spiritualist tract by Mrs. E. P. Thorndyke, published in San Francisco by A.M. Slocum in 1881, with a catalogue record that offers little beyond its subject. The four pictures are small ornamental printer's pieces: a scrolled arch border with wrought-iron curls, two matching tufts of grass and reeds with seed heads, and a lattice basket overflowing with flowers and fruit. A designer might draw on their tidy, repeatable motifs for borders, dividers, and vignettes.
