A 1843 scholarly edition of a 14th-century Latin account of the trial of Dame Alice Kyteler for sorcery in Ireland, edited by Thomas Wright and printed in London for the Camden Society, a historical publishing club. The two pictures are heraldic achievements: shields with crosses, a church, a tree, arms with bird-like wings, and scroll banners with the motto PROSPICE, drawn in dense black-and-white engraving that suits a designer looking at heraldic or ornamental framing.
