The booke of the common prayer and administracion of the sacramentes : and other rites and ceremonies of the Churche : after the vse of the Churche of England
This is a 1549 Book of Common Prayer printed in London by Edward Whitchurch for use across the Church of England, with Psalm texts and rubrics set in black-letter type. The pictures show decorated historiated initials, large woodcut-style capitals enclosing figures and foliage beside psalm verses, which a designer might take as models for ornamental drop caps and border-integrated letterforms.
