Geaves, William · 1676 · London : Printed for Thomas Passenger [etc.] · 2 pictures

A 1676 London ecclesiastical history of France by William Geaves, printed for Thomas Passenger and aimed at readers of Protestant church history, illustrated only with typographic ornaments. The two pictures are woodcut-style decoration: a symmetrical floral panel with rosettes and a urn-like vase, and a large ornamental initial letter B set in a dense field of scrolling foliage, suggesting border and capital-letter motifs for historical or print-inspired layouts.
