The common-wealth of Oceana ..
A 1656 London political treatise by James Harrington, The Common-wealth of Oceana, printed by J. Streater for Livewell Chapman and filed under utopias, with its pictures being decorative initial letters rather than scenes. The four visible initials are a large ornamental S and a large ornamental W, each set in a dense frame of scrolls, leaves and hatched shading, a pattern a designer could borrow for monogram or drop-cap work.
