Barksdale, Clement, 1609-1687 · 1654 · London : Printed for William Lee · 3 pictures

A 1654 London religious controversy pamphlet by Clement Barksdale, printed for William Lee, recording a disputation at Winchcomb and related letters on Puritan-era points of doctrine. Its three pictures are printer's ornaments rather than illustrations: a large woodcut initial I and a historiated initial B with foliage and a face, plus a strip of stylised fleur-like tile ornament. A designer could take from them dense, hand-cut black-and-white border and initial work suited to decorative headers, drop caps and pattern bands.
