Monasticon anglicanum is a 1655 London folio by antiquary William Dugdale, a history of English monasteries compiled from manuscripts and archives for scholars and antiquaries. Its four pictures are small woodcut heraldic and ornamental devices: a coat of arms with a bearded head, foliage and a shield, plus a hourglass-in-oval emblem flanked by scrolls, birds and tassels, offering a designer compact, reusable border and cartouche motifs.
