The Jesuits morals
A 1670 London book printed for John Starkey, a translation by Ezerel Tonge of Nicholas Perrault's critique of Jesuit morals, aimed at English Protestant readers interested in religious controversy. Its four pictures are typographic ornaments: two matching strapwork headpieces with birds, a central cartouche bearing the IHS monogram, a grotesque-mask headpiece with scrolls, and a hatched decorative initial C with foliage. A designer could draw on their symmetrical scrollwork, hatched shading, and cartouche framing for period borders and capitals.
