A true declaration of the estate of the colonie in Virginia, : with a confutation of such scandalous reports as haue tended to the disgrace of so worthy an enterprise.
A 1610 London pamphlet printed for William Barret by Eliot's Court Press and William Stansby, issued by the Council for Virginia to defend the Virginia colony against scandalous reports and to describe its state for English readers and investors. The pictures are small letterpress woodcut ornaments: a foliate border strip, a scrolled cartouche, a decorated initial T, and a tailpiece of two figures tending a tree beneath a Hebrew-lettered cloud, offering designers dense, period-true ornamental units for borders, headers and dividers.
