The poor man's family book ..
A 1674 London devotional book by the Puritan divine Richard Baxter, printed by R.W. for Nevill Simmons, meant for ignorant families to use in household prayer and catechism. The pictures are mostly decorative initial letters: a large ornate W with foliate border, plain sans-serif-style capitals W, and a boxed R framed by leafy vine and grape-cluster ornament, all in dense woodcut-like black on tan paper, useful for historical letter and border ideas.
