WITH TWENTY-FIVE ILLUSTRAZIONS BY AMELIA BAUERLE
Blurb: “A striking late 19th-century work blending moral storytelling with richly detailed illustration, Allegories by Frederic W. Farrar offers a series of symbolic tales rooted in faith, philosophy, and human nature.
Farrar, a well-known theologian and writer of the era, uses allegorical narratives to explore themes of temptation, redemption, struggle, and spiritual growth. Each story is paired with intricate black-and-white illustrations that bring a haunting, almost surreal visual depth to the text.
The ornate binding and decorative spine design make this a standout on the shelf, while the interior artwork gives it lasting appeal for collectors of illustrated books.
A great fit for collectors of religious literature, Victorian-era works, or anyone drawn to symbolic and thought-provoking storytelling.”
