Quadrivium Sionis : or, The foure ways to Sion
Quadrivium Sionis, or The foure ways to Sion is a religious tract by John Monlas, printed in London in 1633 by Augustine Mathewes for a devout readership concerned with salvation. The four pictures here are woodcut ornaments: a large decorated initial letter I, a repeated border strip of flowers, a crown, and beasts, and a second initial T with leafy scrollwork. A designer could take from them the dense, hand-cut linework and stripe-shaded leaves of seventeenth-century English print.
