The faerie queene : Disposed into twelue bookes, fashioning XII. morall vertues
Spenser's The Faerie Queene, printed in London in 1596 by John Wolfe and published by William Ponsonby, is a long epic poem in twelve books written for an English reading public. Its pictures are decorative woodcut borders of interlaced scrollwork, foliage and small animals, with a corner piece of repeated cartouche forms, which a designer might borrow for frames, panels or running headers.
