Description

The Marlowe Omnibus is a collection of illustrations in various media across the pages of a 1912 anthology of the works of Christopher Marlowe.

EDIT: I stumbled across a later printing of this edition on Google Books.  I will include a link in case you're curious:

This Page: "Blood and Branch"
Medium: Ink
Quill and Rose design: fav.me/d5wjcky by :iconbest0for0last:






See, see where Christ’s blood streams in the firmament!
One drop would save my soul...
...
Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight
And burned is Apollo’s laurel bough
That sometime grew within this learned man.

Doctor Faustus, Act V, Scene IV, Lines 40-1; 87-9
