The booke of common prayer, and adminystracion of the sacramentes, and other rytes, and ceremonies in the Churche of Englande
A 1552 English Book of Common Prayer printed in London by Edward Whitchurch for use in the Church of England, with its text set in black-letter type. The pictures are woodcut historiated initials and small framed scenes beside the Epistle and Gospel readings, showing figures in robes and sometimes a standing pair of people, all in dense, high-contrast black-and-white line work a designer could borrow for period lettering and decorative capitals.
