Cases of treason ..
Cases of Treason is a 1641 London legal book by Francis Bacon, printed for the trade by the assignes of J. More and sold by M. Walbancke and W. Coke, aimed at lawyers and readers of state trials. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a strapwork band with a crown and shell motifs, a grotesque mask between scrolls, a motto banner with a radiant cloud, and a block letter W framed by birds and flowers, useful to a designer seeking early modern decorative borders and initials.
