About this work

This page from Stops of Various Quills, 1895, by Howard Pyle, is a printed book page with a black-and-white headpiece showing reaching hands and faces emerging from swirling lines, the word SPES inscribed in the lower right. Below the printed title LIVING is a four-line verse set beside an ornamented initial H, and at the bottom a skull crowned with leaves rests across a quill-like form, signed HP.
