A 1681 Edinburgh printing of Scottish statute law, compiled under the Scottish Parliament and printed by David Lindsay for legal readers and officials. The pictures are small woodcut initials and headpieces in a sturdy 17th-century style: a letter O framed by winged figures and scrollwork, a letter O flanked by standing figures and a thistle stem, a heraldic panel with a crowned shield between griffins, and a letter I surrounded by thistles and flowers, offering a designer dense ornamental borders and framing devices.
