A 1585 English history, the Chronicles compiled by Raphael Holinshed, covering England from William the Conquerour to 1577 for a readership of Elizabethan readers; the record gives no publisher place. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut ornaments: strapwork bands with lion masks and roundels, a large decorated initial I, and a cartouche with the letters ER between foliage, suited to borders, headers and dropped capitals.
