The life of faith : in three parts ..
A 1670 London devotional treatise by the Puritan divine Richard Baxter, printed by R.W. for N. Simmons, aimed at lay Christian readers. The four pictures are woodcut decorative initial letters, each a large capital I or H framed in dense hatched scrollwork, with the leaf-and-scroll ornament differing from block to block. A designer could take from them a model for bold, hand-cut display capitals built from interlaced foliage and strapwork.
