A plea for the Commonalty of London : or a vindication of their rights ..

Bellamie, John · 1645 · London : Printed by George Miller · 5 pictures

A 1645 London pamphlet by John Bellamie, printed by George Miller, defending the rights of London's commonalty and aimed at a civic and Puritan readership. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a large decorated initial M, framed initials with grotesque creatures and a flower-filled V, and a foliate strapwork border with figures at each end. A designer could draw on these for period lettering, decorative capitals and border strips.
