The fountain; with jets of new meanings

Davis, Andrew Jackson, 1826-1910 · 1870 · Boston, W. White & company; New York, American news co. · 129 pictures

The Fountain; with Jets of New Meanings is an 1870 Spiritualism tract by Andrew Jackson Davis, published in Boston and New York by W. White & Company and the American News Company, aimed at general readers of spiritualist writing. The four engravings are small, sepia-toned woodcut-style scenes: a forest camp with figures around a fire, a man and children beside a fenced garden with rabbits, a couple seated in a hollow tree, and boys shooting at a tree. Designers might take their loose, rustic line work and the warm paper tone as a model for naturalistic vignette illustration.
