L'Estrange, Hamon, 1605-1660 · 1651 · London : printed by W[illiam]. W[ilson]. for Henry Seile over against St. Dunstans Church in Fleetstreet · 2 pictures

Americans no Iewes is a 1651 London polemical tract by Hamon L'Estrange, printed by William Wilson for Henry Seile in Fleet Street, arguing against the idea that Native Americans descend from the Jews. The pictures are two black-and-white woodcut ornaments from the printed text: a large decorated initial T built from interlaced foliage and scrolls, and a horizontal band of stylised floral medallions and scrollwork, useful for designers seeking early modern printer's ornament for borders, drop caps and page framing.
