Taylor, Zachary, 1653-1705 · 1696 · London : Printed for E. Whitlock ... · 1 picture

A 1696 London polemic by Zachary Taylor, printed for E. Whitlock, attacking Catholic exorcism as fraud after a supposed possession at a Lancashire house. The only picture is an ex libris bookplate rather than an illustration from the text, so it offers a designer little beyond its lettering: a blackletter EX LIBRIS set among curling vine tendrils, leaves and flowers, with a name in a boxed panel below.
