Orders conceived and published by the Lord Maior and Aldermen of the City of London, concerning the infection of the plague
A 1665 printed proclamation from London's Lord Mayor and aldermen on plague measures, published by James Flesher and aimed at the city's residents and officials. The single picture is a horizontal woodcut ornament band: a winged figure with outstretched arms sits centred among curling scrollwork, flowers and foliage, framed by rosettes at each end, a decorative border a designer could borrow for headers or dividers.
