Heaven, hell and the afterlife across various religions and cultures throughout history, where sinners are tormented by giant fire-breathing cockerels, chased by scorpions the size of donkeys or whittled down to bone by a wind of knives, while the heroic and virtuous ride on divine five-trunked white elephants, recline on beds of lotus flowers in Paradise, or enjoy perfect happiness in the Elysian Fields; colour illustrations of the ‘infernal cartography’ of the European Renaissance artists attempting to map the structured Hell described by Dante, decorative Islamic depictions of Paradise, and various efforts to map the Garden of Eden and the spiritual vision paintings of nineteenth-century mediums; signed by the author.
