A Second discovery by the northern scout of the chiefe actions and attempts of the malignant party of prelates and papists, proctors and doctors and cavaliers that are now resident in the County of Yorke
A 1642 London pamphlet printed for the bookseller B.W., a Parliamentarian news tract reporting on royalist clergy and gentry in Yorkshire during the Civil War. The four pictures are printer's ornaments and initial-letter blocks, not narrative scenes: a square block with a centred letter M set in interlaced strapwork, a symmetrical fleur-de-lis flanked by grotesque faces, a lettered B framed by hatched cartouche corners, and a long horizontal scrolling border. Designers can take from them the dense, hatched woodcut texture and the symmetrical strapwork framing used in seventeenth-century English print.
