A 1639 London edition of a Jacobean romantic comedy attributed to Robert Greene, printed by John Wright at the sign of the Bible in Giltspurre Street for general readers and playgoers who knew the Globe company. The three pictures are letterpress printer's ornaments: a woodcut headpiece of foliage and a crowned rose, a decorative initial-page border with scrolls and fleurs, and a heraldic shield under a crown with diamond lozenges and small lions, useful for designers seeking historical ornament, heraldry, and typographic framing.
