A sermon preach'd before the King Feb. 24. 1674/5

Stillingfleet, Edward, 1635-1699 · 1675 · London, Printed by R. White, for H. Mortlock · 2 pictures

A 1675 London printed sermon by Edward Stillingfleet, preached before the King and issued by the printer R. White for the bookseller H. Mortlock. The two pictures are typographic decoration: a dense black floral ornament band with birds and a central urn, and a large woodcut initial W with ornamental foliage beside plain black-letter text. A designer could take from them the tight interlaced leaf and bird patterns and the boldly cut, shadowed capital letter.
