A 1682 London collection of parliamentary proceedings and state papers from the reigns of James I and Charles I, compiled by John Rushworth and printed by James Astwood for the bookseller Robert Boulter at the Turk's Head in Cornhill. Its pictures are two woodcut initial letters, M and T, framed in dense carnation-and-foliage borders, a vase-and-tulip initial O, and an engraved portrait of Charles I in lace collar and chain; a designer might take from them the crisp black-on-cream contrast of seventeenth-century woodcut ornament.
