Bernard, Richard, 1568-1641 · 1641 · London, Printed by R. Bishop for E. Blackmore · 3 pictures

A 1641 London treatise on the Sabbath by the Puritan minister Richard Bernard, printed for the bookseller E. Blackmore and dedicated to the Earl of Bedford and Lord Russell in a formal dedicatory letter. Its pictures are letterpress pages set in a heavy black-letter-influenced roman with a dense, ruled, two-column text block, a large display title in mirrored or reversed type, and a small engraved frontispiece portrait of the author with a cramped inscription beneath; a designer might take the bold display capitals and the sober, crowded typography of the page.
