A 1632 Latin commentary on the Book of Proverbs, published in Amsterdam by Henricus Laurentius and written by Thomas Cartwright with Johannes Polyander, later owned by John Adams and held by the Boston Public Library. The pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a symmetrical foliate headpiece with a central figure among scrolls, a decorated initial V with hatched shading, and an oval cartouche with a man and tree above the motto NON ODIT TAMEN, useful for designers seeking early modern decorative borders and emblem frames.
