Larkin Failure of man

Wow.  These are some pretty weighty images–I’m not going to pretend that I know much about the symbolism and O.T. history of them at all, and will just stay with admiring what looks to be serious audacity from the simple design and presentation perspective. 

They appear in Frederick W. Childe’s  Prophecies of Daniel and Revelation Compared  (1927), and were “drawn and designed” by Clarence Larkin.  They have a strong sense to them, and are at the same time kind of aerodynamic and sweeping, streamlined in a way that would take on design a few years later.
