Wakeman, Edward · 1664 · London : Printed by J.G. for Richard Royston · 2 pictures

A 1664 London sermon discourse on ordination by the Anglican clergyman Edward Wakeman, printed for the bookseller Richard Royston and aimed at a clerical and Puritan readership. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a flowing strapwork frieze with a lattice of leaves and a face, and a large initial T built from interlaced foliage and tulip-like blossoms, both useful for designers seeking dense Jacobean border and capital-letter patterns.
