The ciuile wares betweene the howses of Lancaster and Yorke is a 1609 London verse history of the Wars of the Roses by Samuel Daniel, printed by Humphrey Lownes for the bookseller Simon Waterson. The two pictures are small printed ornaments: a vase flanked by scrolling foliage and a symmetrical diamond of interlaced strapwork, cut in woodblock style. A designer could borrow their symmetrical scroll and knotwork structure for borders, dividers, or heraldic-style panels.
