The art of logicke. Plainly taught in the English tongue, according to the best approved authors. ..
A 1619 London logic textbook by Thomas Blundeville, printed by Stansby for English-speaking students of logic. Its pictures are four small woodcut initial W letters, each set in a decorative frame of scrolling foliage with hatched shading, the letter itself drawn with heavy strokes and open interior lines. A designer could take from them the compact, self-contained framed-initial format and the hatched foliage borders typical of early seventeenth-century English print.
