The New Testament of our Lord Iesus Christ : translated out of Greeke by Theod. Beza ; with brief summaries and expositions upon the hard places by the said authour, Ioac. Camer., and P. Lofeler Villerius ; Englished by L. Tomson ; with annotations of Fr. Iunius upon Revelation
This is a 1599 London edition of the New Testament in English, translated from Greek by Theodore Beza and Englished by L. Tomson, printed by the deputies of Christopher Barker for a Protestant readership. The two pictures are letterpress printer's ornaments: a large decorative initial T built from interlaced scrollwork and a fabliau-like beast, and a horizontal tailpiece with two cherubs holding garlands above a central rosette cartouche. A designer might take from them the dense, woodcut-style strapwork and the symmetrical framing devices of early modern title and chapter openings.
