Daborne, Robert, d. 1628, Barrenger, William, d. 1631, bookseller, Okes, Nicholas, printer, English Printing Collection (Library of Congress) DLC, Francis Longe Collection (Library of Congress) DLC, Boston Public Library. Thomas Pennant Barton Collection of Shakespeare · 1612 · London : Printed by [sic] for William Barrenger · 4 pictures

A 1612 London play by Robert Daborne, printed by Nicholas Okes for the bookseller William Barrenger, dramatising the lives and deaths of the pirates Ward and Dansiker as performed on stage. The four pictures are small printers' ornaments and devices: a heraldic shield with crest and motto, a foliate border with birds, a numbered initial block, and a boar's head coat of arms with a ribbon reading Fide et Fortitudine. A designer could draw on their compact, dense woodcut patterns for emblem-like marks and borders.
