Binding an Evil Spirit: De Laurence’s Occult Illustration
A large robed figure raises one hand while holding a long staff in the other. A smaller, darker figure bends below and to the side, with a cord or chain rising above its head. The source caption names Binding an Evil Spirit. Clouds and opposed gestures turn the scene into a dramatic image of restraint within de Laurence’s historical occult compilation.
