The common-wealth of Oceana
The Common-wealth of Oceana is a 1656 political treatise by James Harrington, printed in London by J. Streater for Livewell Chapman, and aimed at English readers interested in utopian government. The pictures are small woodcut decorated initials, a large letter set inside black strapwork, scrollwork and leafy foliage, with hatched shading that a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals and borders.
