Solomon's Gate, or, An entrance into the Church is a 1662 London catechism by the clergyman Adam Littleton, printed by R. Daniel, explaining the grounds of religion for lay readers. The single picture is a decorative printer's ornament of a open book above a shield with a zigzag pattern, set within symmetrical scrolling foliage. A designer might take from it the framing of a central emblem by curling leaf scrollwork, a tapering lower point, and the mix of open book and heraldic shield as a compact symbol.
