Sermon preached to the Honourable House of Commons at their late solemn fast, Wednesday, December 17th, 1643.

Henderson, Alexander, 1583?-1646 · 1644 · London : Printed for Robert Bostock · 3 pictures

A 1644 London printed sermon by Alexander Henderson, delivered to the House of Commons at a solemn fast in December 1643, and issued for the book trade through publisher Robert Bostock. The three pictures are typographic ornaments: a large decorative initial T framed by scrolling foliage and interlace, a smaller cropped version of the same initial beside lines of text, and a horizontal strip of intertwined scrollwork with a central figure flanked by animals and birds. A designer could draw on the dense, symmetrical ornamental framing for headers, initials, and bordered layouts.
