Lectures or daily sermons, of that Reuerend Diuine, D. Iohn Caluine... upon the Prophet Jonas ..
A 1578 London printing of John Calvin's sermons on the Prophet Jonah, issued by Edward White for a Protestant and Puritan readership. The pictures are four near-identical woodcut initials, each a letter T framed in a square border with scrolling foliage and spiral ornaments at its sides. A designer could take from them the compact, symmetrical logic of Renaissance printers' initials for building a decorative capital or border.
