The virgins pattern : in the exemplary life and lamented death of Mrs. Susanna Perwich ..
A 1661 London devotional biography by John Batchiler, printed by Simon Dover, recounting the life and death of Susanna Perwich for a Puritan readership. The picture is a large decorated initial S built from interlaced strokes with curling acanthus-like leaves and a stylised stem, the hatched shading suggesting a letterpress woodcut that a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals and frame-like borders.
