An appeal to Caesar : wherein gold and silver is proved to be the kings majesties royal commodity ..
An Appeal to Caesar is a 1660 London pamphlet by Thomas Violet, printed by an unnamed publisher and addressed to the king on the royal claim to gold and silver, a politically charged argument of the Restoration period. Its pictures are a pair of identical decorative woodcut initials with flowers and foliage set in a stippled ground, a tall ornate initial I with scrolling vines, and an engraved frontispiece portrait of Charles II in ermine-trimmed robes beside a crown, useful to a designer for period ornament and stippled borders.
