The faerie qveen : The shepheards calendar : together with the other works of England's arch-poët
This 1611 London edition of Edmund Spenser's collected poems, printed by Humphrey Lownes for the bookseller Matthew Lownes, was made for an English reading public. The pictures are horizontal printed ornamental headpieces and tailpieces with scrolls, cartouches, fruit swags, and small framed scenes, suggesting strip borders for a designer's cartouche or divider work.
