The encyclopaedia of death and life in the spirit-world. Opinions and experiences from eminent sources
An 1900 Chicago compendium of spiritualist opinion and testimony on death and the afterlife, compiled by J. R. Francis and issued by the Progressive Thinker publishing house for a general readership curious about spirit-world beliefs. Its four visible pictures are crude black-and-white line drawings: two show a figure kneeling over a prone body in a rescue-like scene, while two show a hooded skeletal Death with scythe and hourglass among graves, one with a bright 'Life Eternal' ray behind a rising spirit figure, offering a designer bold graveyard and dawn-halo motifs for dramatic, symbolic imagery.
