Sermons upon solemne occasions : preached in several auditories
A 1637 London collection of English sermons by Humphrey Sydenham, printed by John Beale for Humphrey Robinson for a Church of England and Puritan readership. The four pictures are printer's ornaments: a large decorated initial I with scrolling foliage, a plainer variant initial, and a horizontal strapwork headpiece. A designer might take their dense interlaced scrollwork, acanthus curls and symmetrical framing as models for ornamental borders and monograms.
