Poems, &c. upon several occasions
A 1673 London collection of poems by John Milton, published by Thomas Dring in Fleet Street, with the poems gathered from several occasions. The four pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a winged head ornament, the kind of printers' ornament used to open sections of text. A designer might take from them the dense interlaced foliage of the historiated letters, the strong black-and-cream contrast of letterpress woodcut, and the symmetrical winged-head device.
