A treatise of death : the last enemy to be destroyed ..
A 1672 London treatise by the Puritan divine Richard Baxter on death, printed for the bookseller Nevil Simmons and aimed at a general religious readership. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, with the letters I, T, S and D framed by leafy scrollwork, interlacing vines and foliate borders, which suggest how a designer might build a letter-based ornamental frame.
