Noua Britannia, offring most excellent fruites by planting in Virginia. : Exciting all such as be well affected to further the same
Noua Britannia is a 1609 London promotional tract by Robert Johnson, printed for Samuel Macham, encouraging investment and settlement in Virginia for English readers. Its pictures are printed type ornaments: a strapwork headpiece, a foliate tailpiece, and two decorative initial letters, one E with a grotesque beast and one W among scrolls, showing how early seventeenth-century woodcut borders and historiated capitals were built to frame text.
