This 1677 printed treaty, issued in London by the king's printers, records peace articles between Charles II of England and several Indian kings and queens of colonial Virginia, including the Pamunkey and Cheroenhaka. The two pictures are a heraldic achievement with a shield, crest and motto ribbon reading Gaudeo, and an ornamental woodcut initial T beside a black-letter text block, showing the dense type-and-ornament layout of the period that a designer might borrow for historical typography.
