The Faithfull Shepheardesse is a 1629 pastoral play by John Fletcher, printed in London by Thomas Cotes for the bookseller Richard Meighen in Fleet Street. Its single picture is a printer's ornament: an oval cartouche framed by scrolls and holding a stylised carnation and two blossoms, with the letters around it set in a decorative border. A designer could take from it a compact, symmetrical frame device suited to seals, labels, or vintage emblem-style marks.
