Description
1823 1ed Ancient Mysteries Hone Mythical Creatures HELL Torture Giants Occult
William Hone was a 19th-century English bookseller who found himself in a censorship fight with the government in 1817. Following that debate Hone produced a series of political satires and controversial works including ‘Ancient Mysteries Described’. This book includes mysteries found in the Bible, such as the birth of Jesus, but it also includes other oddities such as English giants, the decent into hell, and…more.
Hone includes bizarre and somewhat curious illustrations throughout – illustrations of mythical creatures, even a figure from hell torturing a Jew!
