Select discourses ...
Select Discourses is a 1660 London seventeenth-century English sermon collection by John Smith and Simon Patrick, printed by J. Flesher for W. Morden for a Puritan and devotional readership. The pictures are four woodcut decorative initial letters (I, I, W, H) framed by hatched, scrolled foliage and knotwork borders, with cross-hatched shading and bold black outlines a designer could borrow for historical capitals and ornamental frames.
