Edward Coke's 1628 legal commentary on Littleton's treatise on land tenure was printed in London for the Stationers' Company, a legal text for lawyers and students. Its pictures are printer's ornaments: a repeated horizontal strapwork band with a central oval cartouche holding an open book and quill, plus a decorated initial D framed by foliage, which a designer could borrow for period title pages and borders.
