Stanislas de Guaita et sa bibliothèque occulte / [Stanislas de Guaita].

Stanislas de Guaita · 1899 · Paris : Dorbon, 1899. · 6 pictures

A French occult study published in Paris by Dorbon in 1899, written by Stanislas de Guaita, cataloguing his personal library of esoteric works. Its pictures are monochrome reproductions of medieval-style emblematic scenes: a crowned armoured figure with bat-like wings standing over a dragon, a heraldic group of seated figures with angels and birds, a dense crowd of writhing demons, and an ex-libris shield with a crown and banner. A designer could draw on the dark engraved textures and ornate heraldic framing for period-styled occult or gothic work.
