An historicall discourse of the uniformity of the government of England ..
A 1647 London political history of England's government by Nathaniel Bacon, published for the bookseller M. Walbancke and aimed at a learned readership of the period. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a repeated horizontal border of fleur-de-lis, roses and scrolls, a hatched decorative initial T, and a winged figure within foliage scrollwork. A designer might take from them the dense, symmetrical strapwork borders and heavy-line woodcut texture typical of 17th-century English printing.
