Markham, Gervase, 1568?-1637 · 1676 · London, Printed by E. H. for G. Sawbridge · 3 pictures

Cheap and good husbandry is a 1676 London farming manual by Gervase Markham, printed for G. Sawbridge and aimed at farmers and stockkeepers tending livestock and poultry. Its pictures are small and plain: a large decorated initial T opening the text, a simple woodcut of a rounded wooden tool with a long handle, and a shield-shaped emblem with an open book; a designer might borrow the ornamental initial and the compact emblem style.
