The holy state.
The Holy State is a 1648 English prose work by the clergyman Thomas Fuller, printed in Cambridge for the bookseller John Williams and aimed at a devout general readership. Its pictures are small chapter-opening woodcut ornaments of a winged cherub head with curly hair, set in a heart-shaped frame of feathered wings, with a bold, slightly comic face; a designer could borrow the compact, symmetrical emblem for a headpiece or monogram.
