Rushworth's Historical Collections is a 1659 London parliamentary and state record compiled by John Rushworth from 1618 to 1629, printed by Thomas Newcomb for George Thomason. Its pictures are small oval engraved portraits of statesmen framed by foliage cartouches, with a seal or coat of arms below, and a woodcut decorated initial T; a designer might take the oval-in-cartouche portrait frame and the dense black woodcut ornament as period models.
