New England's First Fruits is a 1643 London pamphlet printed for Henry Overton, reporting on Indian conversions and Harvard College's early progress for an English readership. Its three pictures are small printer's ornaments: a plain heraldic shield with a crown, a crested coat of arms with a motto banner reading GAUDEO, and a strip of foliate scrollwork with a central face mask, useful to a designer wanting period borders and emblems.
