Sacred and legendary art

Jameson, Mrs. (Anna), 1794-1860 · 1891 · London ; New York : Longmans, Green · 31 pictures

Sacred and legendary art by Anna Jameson, published in London and New York by Longmans, Green in 1891, is a Victorian art-historical study of Christian saints and their iconography. Its pictures are plain black-and-white line engravings of saints, statues and painted scenes, showing how attributes such as palms, unicorns, mitres and towers identify each figure, a useful reference for designers building symbolic or medieval-style imagery.
