Miscellany poems
Miscellany poems, a 1684 London collection of verse by John Dryden, printed by J. Tonson and held by the California Digital Library. The pictures are small wood-engraved decorations: a laurel-wreathed lyre with a cherub head, a large ornamental initial W set among scrolling foliage, and a symmetrical acanthus cartouche topped by a bust, all printed in dense black line work a designer could borrow for headpieces, initials and ornamental frames.
