Dr L. W. de Laurence in an Egyptian-Style Frame
A turbaned man in an embroidered coat faces the viewer within an Egyptian-style border. A winged sun spreads above the portrait, with additional patterned forms enclosing the sides. The signature identifies Dr L. W. de Laurence, author of the crystal-gazing volume. The elaborate frame presents the author through the visual language of the occult subjects discussed in his book.
