Eikonoklastes : in answer to a book intitl'd Eikon basilike : the portrature of his Sacred Majesty in his solitudes and sufferings / the author I[ohn]. M[ilton]
Eikonoklastes is a 1649 polemical pamphlet by John Milton, printed in London by Matthew Simmons, answering the royalist Eikon Basilike and addressed to a readership of political controversy. The picture is not an illustration but a large decorative initial W set in heavy black letterpress type beside a column of text, showing a bold display capital a designer might use for dramatic opening letters in print work.
