The Old and New Testaments
The Old and New Testaments, printed in London by Robert Barker in 1612 and drawn from the Sternhold psalter tradition, is a Bible edition for devotional readers. Its pictures are tree-like genealogy charts of biblical lineages set in ornate frames, with circled names linked by fine ruled lines, offering a designer a model for diagrammatic family trees and early modern typographic ornament.
