Remaines concerning Britaine is a 1636 London miscellany of British languages, names, proverbs, and epitaphs, compiled by William Camden and John Philipot and printed by Thomas Harper for John Waterson. The four pictures are woodcut decorative initials, each a large letter I or E wrapped in hatched, curling foliage and scrolls, showing how early printers framed a capital letter with dense ornament that a designer could adapt for a monogram or a title-page drop cap.
