This 1683 London law report collects select cases decided in the King's Bench and Common Bench courts, compiled by Sir George Croke and printed by W. Rawlins, S. Roycroft and H. Sawbridge. The picture is a bookplate from the John Adams Library at the Boston Public Library, showing an oval portrait of Adams above two colonial-style houses, with a shelf-number label and handwritten notes. A designer might take from it a dignified engraved-label layout, with an oval portrait medallion, centred serif lettering and a sepia palette.
