The book of common prayer and administration of the sacraments : and other rites and ceremonies of the Church of England
The Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England was printed in London in 1660 by Christopher Barker and John Bill, printer to the king, for use in public worship. Its pictures are black-letter music staves with woodcut historiated initials and ornamental headpieces; a designer could draw on the dense Renaissance ornament, the framed initial letters and the strong blackletter type.
