Psychical research
Psychical research is a 1911 New York and London study of occult phenomena by the physicist William Barrett, held in the Harry Houdini Collection at the Library of Congress. The only picture here is a bookplate-style Library of Congress seal, not an illustration from the text, so it offers little for a designer beyond the emblem itself: a perched eagle over a wreath, ringed by lettering and the year 1800.
