Soldan's Geschichte der Hexenprozesse / neu bearbeitet von dr. Heinrich Heppe.

Wilhelm Gottlieb Soldan, Heinrich Heppe, Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine · 1880 · 1880 · 1 picture

This 1880 German history of witch trials, revised by Heinrich Heppe from Wilhelm Gottlieb Soldan's original and held by the Countway Library of Medicine, is a scholarly reference work for academic readers. The single picture is a bookplate (ex libris) from 1930 bearing the name Dr. Chr. Deetjen, showing a helmeted armoured knight holding a banner beside a heraldic shield with a crest, in dense black woodcut-style lettering. A designer might take its bold black-and-white contrast, interlocking blackletter type and heraldic shield motif for a dramatic vintage emblem.
