Symboleographie ..
Symboleographie is a 1641 English legal treatise by William West, printed in London by Miles Flesher, setting out forms for conveyancing and Chancery pleading for lawyers and clerks. The pictures are small woodcut decorative initial letters, mostly capital A and one T, framed by scrolling foliage, with a few showing a pelican-like bird, strapwork and stylised leaves that a designer could borrow for vignettes, borders or monogram work.
