A key for Catholicks is a 1659 polemical tract by the English Puritan divine Richard Baxter, printed in London and sold through a Kidderminster bookseller, aimed at lay readers weighing Roman against Reformed claims. Its pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments: a large decorative initial letter built from interlaced strapwork and foliage, and a winged figure riding a scrolled sea-creature above a cartouche, which a designer could borrow for hatched, inked ornamental capitals and vignette dividers.
