The way of the Buddha

Baynes, Herbert · 1906 · London : J. Murray · 1 picture

The Way of the Buddha is a 1906 London introduction to Buddhism by Herbert Baynes, published by John Murray in the Wisdom of the East series for a general English readership. The only picture is the title page's small engraved sunrise over a horizon, a plain printer's device with no narrative content. A designer might take from it the restrained period typography of centred capitals, rules-free spacing, and a single small sun motif as a quiet emblem of dawn or enlightenment.
