The Book of Common Prayer of 1552 is a liturgical prayer book of the Church of England, printed in London by Edward Whitchurch for use in parish worship. Its pages show black-letter text in two columns beside large decorated initial letters built from interlaced foliage and strapwork, which a designer could take as models for ornamental drop caps and blackletter typography.
