The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
A 1661 Massachusett-language New Testament printed at Cambridge, Massachusetts, by Samuel Green and Marmaduke Johnson, the first Bible printed in British America, made for Native American readers and missionary use. The picture is a handwritten 1795 ownership note in faded ink over a marbled paper board, with a centred heraldic bookplate of a coat of arms with a crest and motto, bearing the name John Carter Brown; a designer might take the marbled paper border, the ornate heraldic crest, and the script inscription as period ornament.
