Demonology and devil-lore / by Moncure Daniel Conway.
Demonology and devil-lore by Moncure Daniel Conway, published in 1879, is a scholarly study of demons and devil legends drawn from classical and medieval sources. The four pictures are hand-drawn engravings of grotesque composite creatures: a bearded man with dog heads and entwined serpents, a winged horned figure coiled with a snake above a pot, a carved mask-like face with beaked and serpentine forms, and a winged dragon-like beast with a spear through it, useful for designers seeking monstrous hybrid motifs with crisp, heavy line hatching on a cream ground.
