Dering, Edward, 1540?-1576 · 1597 · London, Printed by I. R[oberts] for P. Linley & J. Flasket · 2 pictures

A 1597 London book of collected works by the Elizabethan preacher Edward Dering, printed by I. Roberts for P. Linley and J. Flasket, opening with a dedicatory preface addressed to Queen Elizabeth. The top picture is a dense printed woodcut headpiece of a crowned royal coat of arms flanked by scrolling foliage, putti and grotesque figures, a strong model for ornamental border and cartouche design. The second page is a black-letter text block with a large decorated initial and a centred title, useful for historical display typography and ornamental capitals.
