Whittington, Robert, -approximately 1560, Negro, Pescennio Francesco, 1452-, Worde, Wynkyn de, -1534? printer, Littlefield, George Emery, 1844-1915, former owner, Shillaber, William Green, former owner, Leigh, Chandos, 1791-1850, former owner · 1513 · [London : Wynkyn de Worde] · 2 pictures

A Latin grammar by Robert Whittington, printed in London by Wynkyn de Worde in 1513 and later owned by George Emery Littlefield, written for students learning Latin. The pictures are bookplates: one is an ex libris label with a laurel wreath around a seal and a bookseller's exchange note, the other a gilt coat of arms flanked by two unicorns above a motto scroll. A designer might take from them the symmetrical framing of wreath, shield and scroll typical of early armorial and ownership marks.
