Certaine miscellany works of the Right Honovrable Francis Lo. Verulam, Viscount S. Alban
A 1629 London miscellany of works by Francis Bacon, Viscount St Alban, edited by William Rawley and printed by I. Haviland for H. Robinson for an English readership of scholars and collectors. The pictures are typographic ornaments: a repeated horizontal strapwork border of scrolls and a central fleur-de-lis, plus a large decorated initial A with foliage, rendered in crisp woodcut-like black line on cream paper, offering a designer a ready template for running headers and dropped capitals.
