Caradoc, of Llancarvan, -1147? · 1584 · 1584. Imprinted at London : By Rafe Newberrie and Henrie Denham · 13 pictures

A 1584 London printing by Rafe Newberrie and Henrie Denham of Caradoc of Llancarvan's chronicle of Wales, a Welsh-language history written over two centuries earlier and set in English type for an English readership. The pictures are sixteenth-century woodcut ornaments: a strapwork and foliate cartouche band repeated in several variants, a blank heraldic shield beside a historiated initial, and a central lion mask flanked by scrolls and leaves, useful to a designer for Renaissance borders, initials and printed ornament.
