The Pastyme of People is a 1530 chronicle of England and other realms, printed in London by John Rastell and later bound by Riviere & Son for the Boston Public Library's collection. Its pictures are woodcut royal portraits of English kings, each standing full-length in a crown and robe beside a heraldic shield and a name label, a sequence a designer could use for historical figure studies or patterned series.
