Revelation examined with candour : or, A fair enquiry into the sense and use of the several revelations expressly declared, or sufficiently implied, to be given to mankind from the creation, as they are found in the Bible
Revelation Examined with Candour is a 1733 London theological treatise by Patrick Delany, printed for C. Rivington, on the revelations said to be given to mankind as found in the Bible. The four pictures are decorative printers' ornaments: a letter-initial cartouche with a winged eagle and cherub head, two cross-shaped headpieces with a mask and flame-topped crown, and a W-shield cartouche with scrollwork. A designer could take the baroque scrolls, masks and shield frames as sources for ornamental borders and monograms.
