The frame of the government of the province of Pennsilvania in America: : together with certain laws agreed upon in England by the governour and divers free-men of the aforesaid province. To be further explained and confirmed there by the first Provincial Council and General Assembly that shall be held, if they see meet.
The Frame of the Government of Pennsylvania is a 1682 London printed constitution by William Penn, issued for the colonists and free-men of his new province in America. The only picture is a heraldic coat of arms in a fine engraved style, showing a crest of a griffin-like creature above a helmet, mantling scrolls, three small animals on a chevron, and a banner reading Gaudeo; a designer might take its symmetrical framing and scroll ornament as a model for emblems or bookplates.
