Scottish witchcraft trials / [J.W. Brodie-Innes].

John William Brodie-Innes · 1890 · London : Sette of Odd Volumes, 1890. · 3 pictures

A late nineteenth-century monograph on Scottish witchcraft trials by John William Brodie-Innes, published in London in 1890 by the Sette of Odd Volumes, a private dining club whose members printed small privately issued books for themselves. The three pictures are decorative headpieces and a tailpiece in woodcut style: two repeating foliate border strips with thistle-like blooms and leaves, and a rampant lion holding a sword over an anchor. A designer could take from them a model for vintage running borders and a heraldic lion emblem suited to historical or folkloric themes.
