The faithfull shepherd ..
A 1621 London book by Richard Bernard, printed for Thomas Pavier and aimed at Puritan readers, with its decorative initials and typographic ornaments set in a dense early-seventeenth-century woodcut style. The four pictures are capital letters T and W framed in scrolling strapwork, rosettes, and flowers, with one mixing a foliage-filled W in a square border. A designer could draw on their interlaced scrollwork, dark hatched shading, and compact framing for historical initial letters.
