Felton, Henry, 1679-1740 · 1732 · Oxford : Printed at the Theatre, and are to be sold by C. Rivington, London · 25 pictures

A 1732 Oxford printing of Henry Felton's sermons defending Christian revelation against Deists, Arians and Socinians, first preached at St. Paul's Cathedral under the Lady Moyer lectureship. The pictures are two repeated woodcut ornaments: a foliate cartouche with a basket of flowers topped by a crown-like finial, and a large decorated initial letter 'I' framed by scrolling leaves, both printed in dark ink on tan paper, showing how early eighteenth-century printers used reusable type ornaments for chapter openings and headings that a designer could adapt for classical frames or drop-cap letters.
