1867 AD FRANCE JAMES PARKER CALENDAR EMBLEMS
A plate of early Christian and medieval emblems, numbered 48 through 55, including a hexagram enclosing a flower at No. 50 alongside a dove, a phoenix, a ring and two diagrams of the Scutum Fidei ("Shield of the Trinity"), and a close detail of the same hexagram-and-flower emblem. The plate's style and subject match The Calendar of the Anglican Church Illustrated, first published in 1851 by the Oxford firm James Parker and Co and later abridged and reissued as The Calendar of the Prayer-Book Illustrated; this card could not confirm the specific 1867 edition or a French connection the archive's own country tag claims, so the "where" here follows the publisher rather than that tag.
