A Preparation to the Psalter
A Preparation to the Psalter is a 1619 London devotional book by George Wither, printed by N. Okes, with an engraved title-page border by Francisco Delaram and aimed at readers of the Psalms. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, each a large capital framed by strapwork, scrollwork and leafy knots, with hatched shading that a designer could adapt for ornamental capitals.
