Good newes from Virginia is a 1613 London pamphlet by the minister Alexander Whitaker, printed by Felix Kyngston for William Welby and addressed to the Virginia Company in England, describing the state of the colony. Its pictures are small Renaissance-style typographic ornaments: a fleur-de-lis flanked by scrolling foliage and a strapwork border, and large decorative initial letters B and R framed in leafy vines, which a designer could adapt for headers, drop caps and border bands.
