The widow's mite and other psychic phenomena
Funk's 1904 New York and London study of spiritualism and psychic phenomena, published by Funk & Wagnalls for a general readership curious about the supernatural. The pictures are rough, heavily textured black marks on cream paper: a pair of rings split by a vertical bar, a crude figure with a bent limb, a crescent beside a bar, and a goblet-like shape on a stem. Their raw, hand-drawn, stamp-like strokes suggest bold graphic marks a designer could borrow for symbol or sign work.
