1832 Bauder Spiritual Mirror Bizarre Emblems Devils Satan Occult Demons Macabre

"Here you will see the impenitent sinner lying on his death bed; his body racked with pain; his mind filled with fears and frightful forebodings; he looks at death with dread, and fear."

­– Bauder, Spiritual Mirror, no. viii

A rare edition of Peter Bauder's "Spiritual Mirror" and illustrated devotional book filled with image associations. This American adaptation of popular European 'emblemata' covers the results of sin in a Christian's life. The figures depict devils, death, sinful acts, and Satan himself. Much of this book appears to be written as a 'scare tactic' as each section divulges the consequences for sin.

Illustrated by William Cammeyer, this book includes 10 full-page, detailed images.
