Act for a company tradeing to Affrica, and the Indies. June 26. 1695.

Scotland · 1696 · Edinburgh, : Printed by the heirs and successors of Andrew Anderson, printer to His most excellent Majesty, · 2 pictures

An 1696 Edinburgh printing of a Scottish act of parliament, issued by the heirs of printer Andrew Anderson, chartering a company to trade with Africa and the Indies. The two pictures are woodcut heraldic devices: a pair of winged cherub-like figures holding a crowned shield with a thistle and Tudor roses, and a crowned royal shield flanked by a unicorn and a lion, with a motto banner below. A designer could draw on their symmetrical framing, banner scrolls, and crest-and-supporter arrangements for state or corporate seals.
