Seneca his tenne tragedies is a 1581 English translation of Seneca's plays, printed in London by Thomas Marsh and translated by Heywood, Studley and Newton for an educated reading public. The four pictures are small square printer's ornaments: one large decorated initial E and three versions of a capital O framed by scrolling foliage and set within an oval of radiating strokes, useful for designers seeking Elizabethan woodcut borders and letterforms.
