Introduction au magnétisme : examen de son existence depuis les Indiens jusqu'á l'époque actuelle, sa théorie, sa pratique, ses avantages, ses dangers, et la nécessité de son concours avec la médicine / par Aub. Gauthier.
A French treatise on animal magnetism by Aubin Gauthier, published in Paris by Dentu in 1840, surveying the practice from ancient peoples to its own day and arguing for its use alongside medicine. The single picture is a shield-shaped device with an open book bearing Hebrew letters above a banner reading LUX ET VERITAS, a library-style emblem rather than a scene. A designer might take from it the heraldic shield-and-banner format and the stark horizontal line hatching as a compact, authoritative mark.
