The Earl of Shaftesbury, who was tutored by John Locke and went on to write one of the most influential books of the 18th century, The Characteristicks of Men, Manners, and Opinion (1737), included a number of illustrations in the book in order to complement the text. The exact meaning of these illustrations is not entirely clear. The illustration to the left is from the frontispiece of vol. 1.
