West-ward hoe. As it hath beene diuers times acted by the Children of Paules.
West-ward hoe is a 1607 London play by Thomas Dekker and John Webster, printed for sale at Paul's Churchyard and performed by the Children of Paul's. The four pictures are small printer's ornaments: a serpent-entwined cup emblem with the motto Love and Live, a historiated initial B with figures and foliage, a boar's head within a shield bearing the motto Fide et Fortitudine, and a plain plan of riverbank with a scale bar. A designer might draw on the woodcut emblem and decorative initial for compact, motto-driven ornament.
