The booke of the common praier and administracion of the sacramentes : and other rites and ceremonies of the Churche : after the use of the Churche of Englande
This is a 1549 Book of Common Prayer printed in London by Richard Grafton for the Church of England, edited by Thomas Cranmer for use in English churches. The pictures are black-letter text pages with historiated and decorated initials, including a figure-filled woodcut initial and a flourished capital, which a designer could draw on for ornamental letterforms and dense typographic color.
