A 1649 London missionary report printed for Hannah Allen in Popes-Head-Alley, compiling letters by John Eliot and Thomas Mayhew jun. on the Gospel among the Massachuset Indians of New England, addressed to English Christian readers. The pictures are typeset pages with a plain square ornamental initial and a large woodcut-style decorated initial letter with foliage, showing how cut ornament sits beside dense black-letter text, a useful model for capital letters framed by running copy.
