Emanuel Swedenborg: his life and writings
A London biography of the Swedish mystic Emanuel Swedenborg, written by William White and published by Simpkin, Marshall & co. in 1867 for a general readership. Its pictures are steel-engraved views of plain wooden buildings with pitched roofs and small paned windows, a faded photographic plate of a figure beside water, and a bewigged half-length portrait in an 18th-century coat, offering a designer sober period architecture and formal portrait styling.
