White, Henry, active 1815. fmo RPJCB · 1627 · London : Printed by E. All-de for N. Fosbrooke, by the assignes of Io: Wright and R. Bird · 2 pictures

A 1627 London miscellany of curious facts and useful knowledge, printed by E. Allde for N. Fosbrooke and the assigns of John Wright and R. Bird, with a title page dated 1627 and bearing a printer's imprint. The first picture is a letterpress title block set in mixed roman and italic capitals, with a dated imprint line reading MDCCCXV, which belongs to a later stamp rather than the book itself; the second is a decorative woodcut band of scrolling foliage, a winged face and putti, a classic ornament for borders and headers.

Imprint 1627
