Views of our heavenly home : a sequel to a Stellar key to the summer-land
Views of our heavenly home is an 1878 Boston spiritualist cosmology by Andrew Jackson Davis, a sequel to his Stellar key to the summer-land, held by the Library of Congress. Its pictures are rotated, hand-drawn line diagrams of celestial and terrestrial forms: a curved band of stippled, streaked shading, a plan of parallel strata, an ellipse with radial meridian lines, and a dense cloud-like mass over a landscape. A designer might draw on their clean, schematic diagram style, with fine hatching and stipple used to suggest sphere, curvature and atmosphere.
