Legends of the monastic orders as represented in the fine arts : forming the second series of sacred and legendary art
Legends of the Monastic Orders, by Mrs. Anna Jameson, published by Longmans, Green in London and New York in 1891, is an art-historical survey of religious orders as shown in painting and sculpture. The pictures are plain line engravings of standing saints in long habits, each with a halo and a identifying attribute such as a cross, book, or emblem, drawn with clean contours and hatched shading that a designer could borrow for simple iconographic figures.
