This is a 1604 religious tract on Church of England reform by Francis Bacon, printed in London and held by Toronto's Fisher library, aimed at clergy and churchgoers. The picture is a large decorated initial T with two winged, bird-legged figures climbing its stem amid scrolled foliage and urn-like forms, a design a designer could borrow for a historic capital letter or ornamental frame.
