A 1662 London folio printed by James Flesher for R. Royston, collecting the works and state papers of Charles I, attributed to John Gauden and once owned by William Ord. The four pictures are woodcut decorative initial letters, the large capital I set within interlaced scrolls, leafy tendrils and foliage, with hatched shading on the ornament. A designer might take from them the dense black-and-white ornamental framing of a capital, with its contrast between solid and striped areas.
