A treatise of the passions and faculties of the soule of man : with the severall dignities and corruptions thereunto belonging
A treatise of the passions and faculties of the soule of man by Edward Reynolds, a Puritan divine, printed in London in 1640 by R.H. for Robert Bostock, aimed at a religious readership interested in the emotions and psychology. The pictures are four woodcut decorated initial letters, each a large capital T framed by scrolling foliage, vines, and leaf ornament in dense hatched black line. A designer could take from them the structure of a capital letter built into a frame of interlaced tendrils, and the contrast of solid strokes against cross-hatched shading.
