Historical collections of private passages of state, compiled by John Rushworth and printed in London in 1682 by James Astwood for Robert Boulter, a parliamentary and political record for readers of the period. The pictures are small engraved vignettes, with letter-keyed cartouches, a map of an island, a domestic interior, a fortified building and a street crowd with pikes, drawn in dense hatched line and rendered in a warm sepia tone that suggests crowded narrative scenes a designer could adapt for historical texture.
