The world, the flesh,
the devil
back end-paper, wood-cut, Kennington
Figure bearing a sword in either hand, fighting the soft under-belly of a spider-like monster, while on the right there is a tower with many ledges and figures climbing up towards a rotund figure in a high hat with baton and ball, and the whole topped by a circle of ringing bells. As with the front end-paper, the drawing is in white relief on a black background.
