Content and context

223 x 170 mm. The caption continues: 'Ex archaeologia collectione, Adelphi, Allani et olim Joannis Bell, M.R.I.A., F.R.S. &c.' There is a further caption at the bottom of the page which reads: 'It is worthy of note that many of the orginals here photographed owe their preservation to the Superstitious belief that they are supernaturally efficacious in the cure of all diseases, and especially potent in counteracting the evil influences of Spiritual Machinations. Those perforated have been used as charms against witchcraft, hence the high appreciation by the possessors.'
