Archæologiæ atticæ libri tres = Three bookes of the Attick antiquities, containing the description of the cities glory, government, division of the people, and townes within the Athenian territories, their religion, superstition, sacrifices, account of their year : as also a full relation of their judicatories
Francis Rous's 1645 London treatise on Athenian antiquities, printed for John Williams in Pauls Churchyard, was aimed at scholars and readers of classical history. Its pictures are repeated woodcut headpiece borders of stylised roses, thistles and scrolling foliage in dense black-and-cream line, a usable model for symmetrical border and frame design.
