Tombes, John, 1603-1676 · 1675 · London : Printed for the Author by H.E. · 2 pictures

A 1675 London polemic by the Baptist controversialist John Tombes, printed for the author by H.E., answering Obed Wills and Blinman on infant baptism in a letter addressed to Henry Danvers. The two pictures are plain printer's decorative initials: a woodcut capital I framed by grotesque faces and scrollwork, and a capital M surrounded by foliate interlace and curling tendrils. A designer could draw on their dense black-and-cream contrast and the way ornament fills the letter's frame.
