William Dugdale's 1655 Monasticon anglicanum is a London-printed folio cataloguing English monasteries, abbeys and churches from their origins to the Dissolution, drawn from manuscripts and archives. Its pictures are small, plain black-and-white woodcut seals of mounted knights and engraved full-length figures of monks in habits, with simple outlines and little shading that a designer could adapt for medieval-style graphics or heraldic motifs.
