A 1630 London printed play, The Phoenix by Thomas Middleton, printed by Thomas Harper for the bookseller Richard Meighen and sold near the Middle Temple Gate and St Dunstan's churchyard in Fleet Street. The single picture is a small printer's ornament: a swan within a looped and scrolled oval cartouche, its outer border of foliage and shell-like curls. A designer could take from it a compact, symmetrical emblem format suited to a seal, label or bookplate.
