The occult sciences : The philosophy of magic, prodigies and apparent miracles / from the French of Eusebe Salverte ; with notes illustrative, explanatory, and critical by Anthony Todd Thomson.
A bookplate for Clarence W. Spring, M.D., printed in the 1846 London edition of Salverte's study of occult sciences, translated and annotated by Anthony Todd Thomson. The plate has a central roundel showing a classical temple with columns and a standing figure, framed by a ram-head ornament and a banner reading EX-LIBRIS. Its engraved neoclassical style, with a laurel-like wreath and Greek inscription, suggests a designer could borrow its emblematic medallion and ornamental framing for heraldic or learned-society branding.
