The Cross as Symbol and Ornament, collected, drawn and described by Johannes Troyer (HC, 1961, $2, has some stains and foxing)
Wow, who would have thought there were over 100 versions of the Cross. And so beautifully drawn, one cross per page. The crosses are divided into four sections: the Precursors, the Dissembled Cross, the Latin Cross, and the Greek Cross. The Precursors are the pre-Christian crosses. The Dissembled, the ones used when displaying the Cross was illegal.
