The works of the most Reverend Father in God, John Bramhall D. D. late lord archbishop of Ardmagh, [sic] primate and metropolitan of all Ireland

Bramhall, John, 1594-1663, Vesey, John, 1636-1716 · 1677 · Dublin : Printed by Benjamin Tooke, printer to the king's most excellent majesty · 10 pictures

A seventeenth-century theological folio of the collected works of Archbishop John Bramhall, edited by John Vesey and printed in Dublin in 1677 by Benjamin Tooke for the king's printer. The four pictures are woodcut decorative initials, each a framed letter (T, H, R, W) set within ornament, with the first and last built around symmetrical figures flanking a central cartouche. A designer could draw on their compact framed-capital format and mixed grotesque and strapwork ornament for historical initial-letter or title-page work.
