Robinson, Richard, fl. 1574 · 1574 · [London : Imprinted by W. Williamson · 4 pictures

A 1574 London book by Richard Robinson, printed by W. Williamson and held by the University of California Libraries, a moralising satire aimed at a general English reading public and attacking popes, harlots, proud princes and tyrants. Its pictures are small woodcut devices: an oval cartouche with a dated 1573 monogram and a figure scene, a decorated initial F with grotesque foliage, a black ornamental border strip, and the later University of California seal, which the scan adds and which a designer can ignore; the Tudor woodcut ornaments offer strapwork, grotesque and cartouche models.
