Wood, James, 1608-1664 · 1654 · Edinburgh : Printed by Andro Anderson · 4 pictures

A polemical theological pamphlet by James Wood, printed in Edinburgh in 1654 by Andro Anderson, answering Nicholas Lockyer's lecture on the visible church for a Scottish readership of the period. The four pictures are all printer's ornaments: a large decorative initial I, a second cropped initial, a letter V framed in scrolling foliage, and a row of stylised floral cartouches above a manuscript-style signature flourish. A designer might take from them the dense hatched black-and-white woodcut texture, interlocking acanthus scrolls, and the way ornamental capitals frame a single letter.
