Ashe, Simeon, d. 1662 · 1643 · London : Printed for Thomas Underhill · 5 pictures

A 1643 London pamphlet printed for Thomas Underhill, written by the Puritan Simeon Ashe, that sets out a letter from English ministers to their New England brethren and the replies exchanged over several years. The pictures are small decorative printer's ornaments: a large foliate initial I, a historiated-style initial B with fleur-de-lis, a boxed ornament beneath a 'Good Reader' heading, and a looping ex libris monogram reading 'EX LIBRIS'; a designer might draw on their dense woodcut hatching and interlaced letterforms for period headpieces.
