Historical collections of private passages of state, weighty matters in law, remarkable proceedings in five parliaments : beginning the sixteenth year of King James. anno 1618, and ending the fifth year of King Charls [sic], anno 1629
Rushworth's 1659 London compilation of state papers, legal matters and parliamentary proceedings from 1618 to 1629, printed by Thomas Newcomb for George Thomason and held by the University of California. The pictures are a small printed ornament of stylised tulips and rosettes around a central block letter T, a University of California seal with an open book and the motto 'Let there be light', and an engraved oval portrait of John Rushworth set in a garlanded frame above a plinth. A designer might take the dense woodcut botanical ornament as a model for decorative borders and the seal-and-frame conventions as reference for formal emblem design.
