Our race : its origin and its destiny

Totten, Charles Adiel Lewis, 1851-1908 · 1892 · New Haven, Conn. : Robert Banks & Son · 7 pictures

Our Race is an 1892 New Haven prophetic tract by Charles Adiel Lewis Totten, arguing from Anglo-Israelist and Second Advent theories about the origin and future of the English-speaking peoples. The pictures are small engraved diagrams and emblems: a cycle chart of dated orbits, a pyramid capped by an all-seeing eye within a ring of Latin mottoes, a timeline with a bridge-like figure, and a national eagle seal with a shield and arrows. A designer could draw on their compact, symmetrical, seal-like linework.
